Where x is an unknown a is referred to as the quadratic coefficient b the linear coefficient and c the constant.
The numerals a b and c are coefficients of the equation and they represent known numbers. 1 to factor the quadratic equation if you can do so 2 to use the quadratic formula or 3 to complete the square. For the Quadratic Formula to work you must have your equation arranged in the form quadratic 0Also the 2a in the denominator of the Formula is underneath everything above not just the square rootAnd its a 2a under there not just a plain 2Make sure that you are careful not to drop the square root or the plusminus in the middle of your calculations or I can guarantee that. Many quadratic equations cannot be solved by factoring.
