  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 (in some countries referenced as Bhaskara's formula) is a closed-form expression describing ...

  3. 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.)

  4. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    Newton's method is one of many known methods of computing square roots. Given a positive number a, the problem of finding a number x such that x2 = a is equivalent to finding a root of the function f(x) = x2 − a. The Newton iteration defined by this function is given by.

  5. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    One particular solution is x = 0, y = 0, z = 0. Two other solutions are x = 3, y = 6, z = 1, and x = 8, y = 9, z = 2. There is a unique plane in three-dimensional space which passes through the three points with these coordinates, and this plane is the set of all points whose coordinates are solutions of the equation. Solution sets

  6. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of two or more linear equations involving the same variables. [1] [2] For example, is a system of three equations in the three variables x, y, z. A solution to a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables such that all the equations are simultaneously ...

  7. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    The equation of the circle being y 2 + x(x − ⁠ n / m 2 ⁠) = 0, the right hand side is the value of y 2 on the circle. Solution with angle trisector [ edit ] A cubic equation with real coefficients can be solved geometrically using compass, straightedge , and an angle trisector if and only if it has three real roots. [30] :

  8. Algebraic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_equation

    Algebraic equation. In mathematics, an algebraic equation or polynomial equation is an equation of the form , where P is a polynomial with coefficients in some field, often the field of the rational numbers. For example, is an algebraic equation with integer coefficients and. is a multivariate polynomial equation over the rationals.

  9. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    The bigger red dot is the root of the function. In mathematics, the bisection method is a root-finding method that applies to any continuous function for which one knows two values with opposite signs. The method consists of repeatedly bisecting the interval defined by these values and then selecting the subinterval in which the function ...
