Question Number 93730 by Rio Michael last updated on 14/May/20
what are the reasons for not using x = ((2c)/(−b ±(√(b^2 −4ac)))) as the quadratic formula? i proved it.
$$\mathrm{what}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{reasons}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{using}\: \\ $$$$\:{x}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{2}{c}}{−{b}\:\pm\sqrt{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{ac}}}\:\:\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{quadratic}\:\mathrm{formula}?\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{i}\:\mathrm{proved}\:\mathrm{it}. \\ $$

((2c)/(−b ±(√(b^2 −4ac)))) =((2c)/(−b ±(√(b^2 −4ac))))×((−b ∓(√(b^2 −4ac)))/(−b ∓(√(b^2 −4ac)))) =((2c(−b ∓(√(b^2 −4ac))))/(b^2 −(b^2 −4ac))) =((2c(−b ∓(√(b^2 −4ac))))/(4ac)) =((−b ∓(√(b^2 −4ac)))/(2a)) =((−b ±(√(b^2 −4ac)))/(2a)) ∴ Your formula is equivalent to the quadratic formula^• But the quadratic formula^• is better simplified form because it doesn′t contain radical in denominator. ^• Here ′the quadratic formula′ means: x=((−b ±(√(b^2 −4ac)))/(2a))

for the same reason why you write ((√2)/2), not (1/( (√2))), and 2+(√3), not (1/(2−(√3))).
$${for}\:{the}\:{same}\:{reason}\:{why}\:{you}\:{write} \\ $$$$\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{2}},\:{not}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}},\:{and}\:\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}},\:{not}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}−\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}. \\ $$

okay sirs thank you, was just wondering why this formula is so negleted
