Quadratic Tutorials
Hi Srijaroyc;
Welcome to MIFF! You're possibly going to meet some wonderful people here
Our equation is
We are going to solve this with the quadratic formula
Followed?

Re: Quadratic Tutorials
Got it. I was using that b2-4ac formula not this one.

Re: Quadratic Tutorials
I updated post 1
is required. That is the discriminantNow, let us examine what are a, b and c.
a is the coefficient of x², b is the coefficent of x and c is the constant term.
In your next reply, I'll be expecting you to tell what are the values of a, b and c

Re: Quadratic Tutorials
Thanks.
Now, we will need
which is
But, again, is it possible to find the square root of a negative number?
I'd like to know what you think

Re: Quadratic Tutorials
Right 
That is not possible. So, neither is it possible to solve for x.
Wait, I'll come back after dinner.
Did you read what NCERT says on Discriminants?

Re: Quadratic Tutorials
1. IF D is negative, THEN the equation has no real roots.
2. IF D is positive, THEN the equation has two real roots.
2. IF D is zero, THEN both the roots of the equation are equal.
Let us discuss a few examples.
Ready?
P.S: What is your feedback about the last line of my signature?
