x ^ 2 +1x +210 = 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.
r + s = -1 rs = 210
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{1}{2} - u s = -\frac{1}{2} + u
Two numbers r and s sum up to -1 exactly when the average of the two numbers is \frac{1}{2}*-1 = -\frac{1}{2}. 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{1}{2} - u) (-\frac{1}{2} + u) = 210
To solve for unknown quantity u, substitute these in the product equation rs = 210
\frac{1}{4} - u^2 = 210
Simplify by expanding (a -b) (a + b) = a^2 – b^2
-u^2 = 210-\frac{1}{4} = \frac{839}{4}
Simplify the expression by subtracting \frac{1}{4} on both sides
u^2 = -\frac{839}{4} u = \pm\sqrt{-\frac{839}{4}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{839}}{2}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{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{839}}{2}i = -0.500 - 14.483i s = -\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{839}}{2}i = -0.500 + 14.483i
The factors r and s are the solutions to the quadratic equation. Substitute the value of u to compute the r and s.
