Theyve given me the equation already in that form. First we bring the equation to the form ax²bxc0 where a b and c are coefficients. How to Solve Quadratic Equations Method 1of 3.
Solve an equation of the form a x 2 b x c 0 by using the quadratic formula.
So the vectorized way to describe a quadratic form like this is to take a matrix a two by two matrix since this is two dimensions where a and c are in the diagonal and then b is on the other diagonal and we always think of these as being symmetric matrices so if you imagine kind of reflecting the whole matrix about this line youll get the same number so its important that we have that kind of symmetry.

Given a general quadratic equation of the form. Now we apply this method to solve some monic quadratic equations.
