We can use that idea to solve a Quadratic Equation (find where it is equal to zero). But a general Quadratic Equation can have a coefficient of a in front of x2: But that is easy to deal with ... just divide the whole equation by a first, then carry on.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
