How do you translate Quadratic equation? - Answers

Translate to what? I assume you need help interpreting it. The quadratic equation is used to solve the quadratic polynomial, ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c can be any number. For example, if you need to solve the equation x2 = 5 + 2x, you first convert it into the standard form mentioned above: x2 - 2x - 5 = 0. Now find the coefficients, a, b, and c. In this case, a = 1, b = -2, c = -5. Finally, you replace these coefficients in the quadratic equation. The "plus-minus" sign simply means that the quadratic equation is a shortcut for two equations - one in which you add, the other in which you subtract, the terms at the top. The solutions given by the quadratic equation are values of "x" that satisfy the equation.
