Homework Statement
I am trying to use the quadratic formula for 3x^2 - 12x +11 and I am getting...
12 +/- (sqrt 12)/6 which is supposed to reduce to 6 +/- (sqrt 3)/3 and I can't figure it out...it's very sad!
So you have (12 * 2 * sqrt 3) / 6 which simplifies to (6 * 1 * sqrt3) / 3 then torock.freak667 said:[tex]\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4*3}= \sqrt{4}\sqrt{3} =2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
A simple quadratic problem is a mathematical equation that involves a quadratic function, which is a polynomial equation of the second degree. Quadratic problems typically involve finding the value(s) of the variable(s) that make the equation true.
The standard form of a simple quadratic equation is y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants and x is the variable. This form allows for easy identification of the coefficients and the constant term.
To solve a simple quadratic problem, you can use methods such as factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula. These methods involve manipulating the equation to isolate the variable and find its value. Some problems may have multiple solutions, while others may have no real solutions.
Simple quadratic problems have various real-life applications, such as in physics, engineering, economics, and statistics. For example, projectile motion can be modeled using quadratic equations, and quadratic regression can be used to analyze data in statistics.
A simple quadratic problem involves a quadratic equation with only one variable, while a complex quadratic problem involves multiple variables. Complex quadratic problems can also involve higher degrees of the variable, such as cubic or quartic equations.
