Re: Quadratic Equation
[ QUOTE ]
I just realized I completely forgot this, does anybody know it. Thanks. [/ QUOTE ] No need to remember, just complete the square. ax^2 + bx + c = 0 x^2 + (b/a)x = -c/a (x + (b/2a))^2 - b^2/4a^2 = -c/a [complete the square] x + b/2a = sqrt(b^2/4a^2 - c/a) tidy up and get [its tough typing this stuff] x = ( -b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ) /2a Strangly after years I can remember that with no trouble but cant remember the formula. chez |
