20 sub-topics use quadratic formula

  1. AQA · Mathematics · 2 Algebra

    3.2.3Solving equations and inequalities

    zero — so each bracket is set to zero in turn. When it will not factorise, use the quadratic formula: x = ( −b ± √(b² − 4ac) ) ÷ 2a The ± is what gives the two solutions. Completing the square
