Quadratic equations are polynomials, meaning strings of math terms. An expression like “x + 4” is a polynomial. They can have one or many variables in any combination, and the magnitude of them is ...

The quadratic equation has befuddled high school students for decades. An intimidating problem fraught with square roots and X-variables, the methods for its solution involve countless steps that ...

Recurrence relations are derived that define the search direction and Lagrange multiplier vector through equations related to the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker system. Discussion is included of connections with ...

Factorisation method: Given quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0 is factorised by splitting its middle term and written as a product of two linear factors, then the roots of the quadratic equation ...

In a boon to algebra students everywhere, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University has devised a simpler and more efficient way to solve problems involving the quadratic equation. The new method ...

The theoretical analysis and computational implementation of factorization-based methods for the numerical solution of linear boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations are presented.
