Suppose you have a standard quadratic equation for whatever reason that looks like this: x 2-6x+3=0. In this case, A=1, B=-6, and C=3. ... you get the first equation. The Polynomial Factor.

And when you remember that the graph of a quadratic function is a parabola, this makes a lot of sense. Every parabola has an axis of symmetry that splits the parabola into two mirror-image pieces.

A mathematician has derived an easier way to solve quadratic equation problems, according to MIT's Technology Review. You love challenging math problems. So do we. Let's solve them together ...
