Question 217742:  Can you please help me with quadratic equations, and the general method used for them
 
thanks 
 Answer by RAY100(1637)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! The  basic  form  of  quadratic  equations  is,,,, 
. 
ax^2 +bx +c = 0 
. 
The  easiest  method  of  solution  for  x  is  to  factor,  and  set  factors  = 0 
. 
some  eqns  are  just  hard  to  factor,,,,for  those  use  the  general  "quadratic  formula",,, 
. 
x= { -b +/- sqrt{b^2 -4ac} / 2*a 
. 
Note,  all  quadratic eqn  have  2  solutions,,,some  may  be  immaginary. 
. 
Good  luck 
. 
Practice  makes  perfect
