The Babylonians could solve ax² + bx + c = 0, and so can you. @PoShenLoh has rediscovered and amplified a more straightforward way of solving quadratic equations.https://nyti.ms/2UthatG

Maybe the reason people are so scared of doing math is because of articles like this assuming factoring and doing the quadratic formula r too difficult for algebra students

wow. That's an amazing method of solving quadratic equations. How on earth was this forgotten?

To be able to know r * s = c do we need to have the algebraic from first? So how did ancient Babylonians know this?

Am I missing something here? How is this different from the method of “completing the squares” that is usually taught just before the introduction of the quadratic formula? In the equation you present, x**2 -4x is changed to (x-2)**2 - 4, so the equation becomes (x-2)**2 - 9 = 0.

OMG OMG OMG OMG. FINALLY I'm not the only one who thinks this. I feel like this method is just a stretch of completing the square!!! But no offense to
@PoShenLoh , if it helps someone..thats all that matters. This is what i personally think of it. - 2 more replies

In thinking jobs, you have to use "theoretical" math to solve real life problems all the time.
