What is a quadratic equation? And how do you solve them?

Mathematics

Allisa [31]3 years ago

Answer:

A quadratic equation is some thing like

(x+2)^2

or

(x+2)(x+5)

In order to solve them, the most basic method is the FOIL method

F-First

O-Outside

I-Inner

L-Last

So for example

(x+2)^2

Which is basically

(x+2)(x+2)

So the first is the 2 Xs

(x+2)(x+2)

x*x=x^2

The outer is the x and the 2,

(x+2)(x+2)

2*x=2x

Now the Inner which is the 2 and the x

(x+2)(x+2)

2*x=2x

And finally the last  which is the 2 and the second 2

(x+2)(x+2)

2*2=4

Now add them all up

X^2+2x+2x+4

Combine like terms

x^2+4x+4

There you have it

Do the same with every other quadratic equation

Begin by factoring 2 out of   2x^2 - 2x - 12 equals 0:

2(x^2 - x - 6) = 0

2(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0.  2 is never zero, but x-3 and x+2 can each be set = to 0:

This results in x = 3 and x = -2.  The equation is true for these two x-values.

What is the following product? (1√2+√6)(√6- √10)
Sidana [21]
To multiply these, we use the FOIL method (first, outside, inside, last).  Also, 1√2 is equivalent to √2.  It's just like saying 1x is the same x.

Multiplying the first values will give you:

√2 * √6  =  √12  =  √4*3  =  √2*2*3  =  2√3

Multiplying the outside values will give you:

√2 * -√10  =  -√20  =  -√4*5  =  -√2*2*5  =  -2√5

Multiplying the inside values will give you:

√6 * √6  =  √36  =  6

Multiplying the last values will give you:

√6 * -√10  =  -√60  =  -√4*15  =  -2√15

Now you can combine all of the resulting values:

2√3 - 2√5 - 2√15 + 6

I believe this is the answer you're looking for.
