is anyone can solve the quadratic formula or derive it?
Answers
I first derived this in class 8 :
ax² + bx + c = 0
= > a²x² + abx + ac = 0
= > a²x² + abx = - ac
= > a²x² + abx + b²/4 = b²/4 - ac
= > a²x² + 2 a (b/2) x + ( b/2 )² = ( b² - 4 ac ) / 4
= > ( ax + b / 2 )² = ( b² - 4 ac ) / 4
= > ax + b / 2 = ± √ ( b² - 4 ac ) / 2
= > ax = - b/2 ± √ ( b² - 4 ac ) / 2
= > x = [ -b ± √ ( b² - 4 ac ) ] / 2 a

Thats how you solve a quadratic equation .
A quadratic equation is of form a x² + b x + c = 0
For example :
3 x² + 4 x + 1 = 0
You can also solve by factorization ..
3 x² + 4 x + 1 = 0
= > 3 x² + 3 x + x + 1 = 0
= > 3 x ( x + 1 ) + 1 ( x + 1 ) =0
= > ( 3 x + 1 )( x + 1 ) =0
= > x = -1/3 or -1
In fact I can prove in any number of methods.
Just take a random number then complete the square to get the answer .
Its easy and it allows to have fairly basic equation and algebra concepts.
