Looking for the answers to ax² + bx + c = 0? A mathematician has rediscovered a technique that the ancient Babylonians used. By Kenneth Chang and Jonathan Corum The quadratic equation has frustrated ...

First we need to complete the square to get the coordinates of the turning point. \(y = {x^2} + 2x + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} - 1 + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} + 2\) Therefore ...

Now try the example questions below. Since -1 < 0, then it is a maximum turning point. \({b^2} - 4ac\) where \(a = - 1,\,b = 2\,and\,c = - 3\) \(= {2^2} - (4 \times ...
