Solving Quadratic Equations

 

A general quadratic equation is of the form:
                                                                       
 
in the above equation, the constants a, b, and c are real numbers. In this guide, we will discuss different
methods for solving quadratic equations. This topic is useful for students in the department of Academic
Upgrading and the Science departmentWe will explain how to solve quadratic equations by factoring the
equation, completing the square and using the quadratic formula.
