what is the easiest or simple way to solve any quadratic equation by splitting the middle term mehod..
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are some steps which need to be followed while solving any quadratic equation by middle term splitting method
Let's take a example-
y² - 15y + 54 = 0
first make sure that the equation is in standard form which is ax² + bx + c = 0 . here constant is on the side opposite to zero.
Then multiply the 1st and 3rd term here it will be
y² x 54 = 54y² which is a positive number.
Now see the middle term it is -15y.
So you will have to search factors of 54y² such that their product is 54y² and sum is -15y. If it would have been -54y² instead if 54y² then you would have searched for factors whose product is -54y² and subtraction is -15y.
But here it is 54y².
So search the factors.
For this question the factors are -9y and -6y. These factors satisfy the above condition.
Now instead of writing the middle term write these factors
So it will be
y² - 9y - 6y + 54 = 0
Now take common in the first two and next two terms
y ( y - 9 ) - 6 ( y - 9 ) = 0
Make sure that both the brackets are equal. They always are equal if you have solved correctly.
Next compare each to zero
y - 6 = 0 or y - 9 = 0
Therefore your answer is y = 6 or y = 9
Hope this will help and mark me as brainliest if this helped you.
