A quadratic equation is an equation equivalent to the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0. To solve a quadratic equation, we first get it into standard form and then either factor if possible or use the quadratic formula. If factoring results in a negative number under a square root, there are no real solutions. Completing the square is another method that allows us to factor a quadratic expression and solve for the roots.

6.Solving Quadratic Equation
7.By Factoring
Place all terms in the left member of the equation, so that the right member is zero.
Factor the left member.
Set each factor that contains the unknown equal to zero.
Solve each of the simple equations thus formed.
Check the answers by substituting them in the original equation.
8.Example: x² = 6x - 8
Solution:
x² = 6x – 8
x² - 6x + 8 = 0
(x – 4)(x – 2) = 0
x – 4 = 0 | x – 2 = 0
x = 4 x = 2
9.By Completing the Square
Write the equation with the variable terms in the left member and the constant term in the right member.
If the coefficient of x² is not 1, divide every term by this coefficient so as to make the coefficient of x² equal to 1.
Take one-half the coefficient of x, square this quantity, and add the result to both members.
Find the square root of both members, placing a ± sign before the square root of the right member.
Solve the resulting equation for x.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. A quadratic equation is an equation equivalent to one of the form
ax + bx + c = 0
2
Where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0
So if we have an equation in x and the highest power is 2, it is quadratic.
To solve a quadratic equation we get it in the form above
and see if it will factor.
x = 5x − 6
2 Get form above by subtracting 5x and
adding 6 to both sides to get 0 on right side.
-5x + 6 -5x + 6
x 2 − 5x + 6 = 0 Factor.
( x − 3)( x − 2) = 0 Use the Zero-Product Property and set each
factor = 0 and solve.
x − 3 = 0 or x − 2 = 0 x=3 x=2
3. Remember standard form for a quadratic equation is:
ax + bx + c = 0
2
0x ax + c = 0
2
In this form we could have the case where b = 0.
When this is the case, we get the x2 alone and then square
root both sides.
2x − 6 = 0
2 Get x2 alone by adding 6 to both sides and then
dividing both sides by 2
+6 +6
Now take the square root of both
2x = 6
2
x =± 3
2
sides remembering that you must
consider both the positiveand
positive and
2 2 negative root.
negative root.
x=± 3
Let's
check: ( ) 2
2 3 −6 = 0 ( )
2 − 3 −6 = 0
2
6−6 = 0 6−6 = 0
4. ax + bx + c = 0
2
0
What if in standard form, c = 0? We could factor by pulling
an x out of each term.
2 x − 3x = 0
2
Factor out the common x
x ( 2 x − 3) = 0 Use the Zero-Product Property and set each
factor = 0 and solve.
x = 0 or 2 x − 3 = 0
3
x = 0 or x = If you put either of these values in for x
in the original equation you can see it
2 makes a true statement.
5. ax + bx + c = 0
2
What are we going to do if we have non-zero values for
a, b and c but can't factor the left hand side?
This will not factor so we will complete the
x + 6x + 3 = 0
2
square and apply the square root method.
First get the constant term on the other side by
x + 6 x = −3
2
subtracting 3 from both sides.
x + 6 x + ___ = −3 + ___
2
9 9 x2 + 6x + 9 = 6
Let's add 9. Right now we'll see that it works and then we'll look at how
to find it.
We are now going to add a number to the left side so it will factor
into a perfect square. This means that it will factor into two
identical factors. If we add a number to one side of the equation,
we need to add it to the other to keep the equation true.
6. x2 + 6x + 9 = 6 Now factor the left hand side.
( x + 3)( x + 3) = 6 This can be written as: ( x + 3) 2
=6
Now we'll get rid of the square by
two identical factors square rooting both sides.
( x + 3) 2
=± 6
Remember you need both the
positive and negative root!
x+3= ± 6 Subtract 3 from both sides to get x alone.
These are the answers in exact form. We
x = −3 ± 6 can put them in a calculator to get two
approximate answers.
x = −3 + 6 ≈ −0.55 x = −3 − 6 ≈ −5.45
7. Okay---so this works to solve the equation but how did we
know to add 9 to both sides?
x + 6 x + ___ = −3 + ___
2
9 9
( x + 3)( x + 3) = 6 We wanted the left hand side to factor
into two identical factors.
+3x When you FOIL, the outer terms and the
+3 x inner terms need to be identical and need
to add up to 6x.
6x
The last term in the original trinomial will then be the middle
term's coefficient divided by 2 and squared 2 andlast term
the middle term's coefficient divided by since squared
times last term will be (3)(3) or 32.
So to complete the square, the number to add to both sides
is…
8. Let's solve another one by completing the square.
To complete the square we want the coefficient
2 x − 16 x + 2 = 0
2
of the x2 term to be 1.
2 2 2 2
x 2 − 8x + 1 = 0 Divide everything by 2
x 2 − 8 x + ___ = −1 + ___
16 16 Since it doesn't factor get the constant on the
other side ready to complete the square.
2
−8 So what do we add to both sides?
= 16
2
the middle term's coefficient divided by 2 and squared
( x − 4)( x − 4) = ( x − 4) 2 = 15 Factor the left hand side
( x − 4) = ± 15
2
Square root both sides (remember
±)
x − 4 = ± 15
Add 4 to both sides to x = 4 ± 15
get x alone
9. By completing the square on a general quadratic equation in
standard form we come up with what is called the quadratic formula.
(This is derived in your book on page 101)
− b ± b 2 − 4ac
ax + bx + c = 0
2
x=
2a
This formula can be used to solve any quadratic equation
whether it factors or not. If it factors, it is generally easier to
factor---but this formula would give you the solutions as well.
We solved this by completing the square
1x
2
+ 6x + 3 = 0 but let's solve it using the quadratic formula
− b ± b 2 − 4ac (3) = − 6 ± 36 − 12
6 6 (1)
x= 2
2a (1) Don't make a mistake with order of operations!
Let's do the power and the multiplying first.
10. 24 = 4 ⋅ 6 = 2 6
− 6 ± 36 − 12 − 6 ± 24 − 6 ± 2 6
x= = =
2 2 2
There's a 2 in common in
the terms of the numerator
=
(
2 −3± 6 ) = −3 ± 6 These are the solutions we
2 got when we completed the
square on this problem.
NOTE: When using this formula if you've simplified under the
radical and end up with a negative, there are no real solutions.
(There are complex (imaginary) solutions, but that will be dealt
with in the next section).
11. SUMMARY OF SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
• Get the equation in standard form: ax + bx + c = 0
2
• If there is no middle term (b = 0) then get the x2 alone and square
root both sides (if you get a negative under the square root there are
no real solutions).
• If there is no constant term (c = 0) then factor out the common x
and use the zero-product property to solve (set each factor = 0)
• If a, b and c are non-zero, see if you can factor and use the zero-
product property to solve
• If it doesn't factor or is hard to factor, use the quadratic formula
to solve (if you get a negative under the square root there are no real
solutions).
