factoring


using the quadratic formula

For me personally, the easiest way to do this is by isolating the x² term, and finding the square root of both sides. The hardest way (well actually, the longest way) would be to use the quadratic formula. It just complicates things unnecessarily.

The methods of isolating the x^2 term and finding the square root of both sides would be the easiest to use to solve x^2 + 5x – 6 = 0.

What is the general form of a quadratic functions whose both the roots are known?

Suppose that the roots of a quadratic equation be x = a, and x = b (quadratic equation in single variable x).

Then, the family of quadratic functions that possess these roots is:

\(f(x) = t(x-a)(x-b)\)

where t can have any real number value.

The given function is

\(x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0\)

The easiest way to do this equation solving is by isolating the x² term and finding the square root of both sides.

The longest way would be to use the quadratic formula. It will complicate things unnecessarily and gives a lengthy solution.
