Now try the example question below. Solve the quadratic equation \({x^2} - 6x + 8\) by completing the table below, plotting the points and drawing the parabola then reading off the roots from the ...

\(3x^2 = 48\) is an example of a quadratic equation that can be solved simply. If \((x + 1)(x + 2) = 0\), then \(x + 1 = 0\) or \(x + 2 = 0\), meaning \(x = -1\) or ...

can be solved by solving an equivalent linear complementarity problem when H is positive semidefinite. The approach is outlined in the discussion of the LCP subroutine in Chapter 17, "Language ...
