x ^ 2 -\frac{3}{2}x +\frac{5}{3} = 0
Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by a new direct factoring method that does not require guess work. To use the direct factoring method, the equation must be in the form x^2+Bx+C=0.This is achieved by dividing both sides of the equation by 6
r + s = \frac{3}{2} rs = \frac{5}{3}
Let r and s be the factors for the quadratic equation such that x^2+Bx+C=(x−r)(x−s) where sum of factors (r+s)=−B and the product of factors rs = C
r = \frac{3}{4} - u s = \frac{3}{4} + u
Two numbers r and s sum up to \frac{3}{2} exactly when the average of the two numbers is \frac{1}{2}*\frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{4}. You can also see that the midpoint of r and s corresponds to the axis of symmetry of the parabola represented by the quadratic equation y=x^2+Bx+C. The values of r and s are equidistant from the center by an unknown quantity u. Express r and s with respect to variable u. <div style='padding: 8px'><img src='https://opalmath.azureedge.net/customsolver/quadraticgraph.png' style='width: 100%;max-width: 700px' /></div>
(\frac{3}{4} - u) (\frac{3}{4} + u) = \frac{5}{3}
To solve for unknown quantity u, substitute these in the product equation rs = \frac{5}{3}
\frac{9}{16} - u^2 = \frac{5}{3}
Simplify by expanding (a -b) (a + b) = a^2 – b^2
-u^2 = \frac{5}{3}-\frac{9}{16} = \frac{53}{48}
Simplify the expression by subtracting \frac{9}{16} on both sides
u^2 = -\frac{53}{48} u = \pm\sqrt{-\frac{53}{48}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{53}}{\sqrt{48}}i
Simplify the expression by multiplying -1 on both sides and take the square root to obtain the value of unknown variable u
r =\frac{3}{4} - \frac{\sqrt{53}}{\sqrt{48}}i = 0.750 - 1.051i s = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{\sqrt{53}}{\sqrt{48}}i = 0.750 + 1.051i
The factors r and s are the solutions to the quadratic equation. Substitute the value of u to compute the r and s.
