How do you put x^2+1x-4=0 in indian method
To solve a quadratic equation using the Indian method, follow these steps:
Step 1: Write the quadratic equation in the standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are coefficients.
Step 2: Divide the equation by the leading coefficient (a) to make it monic. This step simplifies the process.
Step 3: Factorize the quadratic expression on the left-hand side of the equation. Factorization involves finding two binomial expressions that, when multiplied, give you the quadratic expression.
Step 4: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x. This gives you the roots of the quadratic equation.
Step 5: Simplify and express the final answers.
Note: The Indian method primarily utilizes factorization to find the roots of a quadratic equation. If factorization is not possible, the method may not be applicable. In such cases, you can use other methods like completing the square or the quadratic formula to solve the equation.
