Answer:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
Divide the whole equation by a, where a does not equal 0.
x^2 + (b/a)x + (c/a) = 0
Complete the square on x^2 + (b/a)x
You would halve b/a to get b/2a, then square it to
get b^2/(4a^2)
(x^2 + (b/a)x + (b^2/(4a^2)) - (b^2/(4a^2)) + c/a = 0
(x + b/2a)^2 -b^2/4a^2 + 4c/(4a) - 0
(x + b/2a)^2 +(-b^2 + 4ac)/(4a^2) = 0
(x + b/2a)^2 = (b^2 - 4ac)/(4a^2)
x + b/2a = +/- sqrt (b^2 - 4ac)/(2a)
x = - b/2a +/- sqrt (b^2 - 4ac)/(2a)
Express this with a common denominator of (2a)
x = (-b +/- sqrt (b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)
This is how the quadratic equation was derived.
