  2. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    Quadratic formula. The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 2 ⁠x2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x -axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

Histogram of total stopping times for the numbers 1 to 10 9. Total stopping time is on the x axis, frequency on the y axis. Iteration time for inputs of 2 ...

  4. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Quadratic equation. In mathematics, a quadratic equation (from Latin quadratus ' square ') is an equation that can be rearranged in standard form as [1] where x represents an unknown value, and a, b, and c represent known numbers, where a ≠ 0. (If a = 0 and b ≠ 0 then the equation is linear, not quadratic.)

    Equation solving. The quadratic formula, the symbolic solution of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated ...

    A different technique, which goes back to Laplace (1812), [3] is the following. Let = =. Since the limits on s as y → ±∞ depend on the sign of x, it simplifies the calculation to use the fact that e −x 2 is an even function, and, therefore, the integral over all real numbers is just twice the integral from zero to infinity.

  8. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    Here the function is and therefore the three real roots are 2, -1 and -4. In algebra, a cubic equation in one variable is an equation of the form in which a is not zero. The solutions of this equation are called roots of the cubic function defined by the left-hand side of the equation. If all of the coefficients a, b, c, and d of the cubic ...
