You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i don't believe so.
\n" ); document.write( "they should get the same result, but the method is different.
\n" ); document.write( "factoring is one method of finding the square roots.
\n" ); document.write( "use of the quadratic equation is another.
\n" ); document.write( "factoring by squaring is another.
\n" ); document.write( "all different methods with the same purpose, that purpose being to find the roots of the quadratic equation.
\n" ); document.write( "you can also find the roots by graphing.
\n" ); document.write( "of all the methods, the quadratic equation finds you all the roots, whether they are real or not.
\n" ); document.write( "here's a pretty good reference on solving quadratic equations.
