Agreed @ Bolded

Not advisable though, you only teach students with high intellect and numerical prowess fast mathematical methods.
It isn't complex.

The idea behind this method was to stop that process of guessing for factors and doing trial and error in the case of factorisation method.

Uncle sobo
You simply modified completing the square
You never jam correct quadratic equations that gives complex number

You really tried with the explanation so I doff my hat
Sobo ke? Lmao
The entire methods for solving quadratic are all related.
It is a faster approach for teaching students particularly if the coefficient of X is an even number, it can be solved in less than 30 seconds.

You also need to make sure that the coefficient of X² is 1 before you start @Jodha

Jodha:
What's the name of this method pls?
It has not be named yet. However, it is a derivative of some old Babylonia method, Viata's formulas, Greek and French approaches and so on but I like to call it Loh's method or Loh's alternative quadratic method as it was discussed by Professor Po-Shen Loh. He was the coach of the USA team that won International Mathematics Olympiad back to back. He is a professor of mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University.

Jodha:
Factorisation
Completing the square
Formulae method
And?
A newly discovered method last month. grin
You just pick the coefficient of x, span it in the middle and equate to the C term.
E. G
If you are to solve
X²-16x+48=0
16 is the coefficient of x.
Half of 16 is 8.

We just split this 8 into two parts and write
(8+u)(8-u)=48

U²=16
U= +/- 4

Just subatitute +/-4 into (8+u) and (8-u)
You will get 12 and 4 everytime.

Therefore,
X=4 or x =12 is the solution of the parent quadratic equation
This method was discovered worldwide few weeks ago. wink wink wink wink wink

I meant the sign(^)is in d question
The person typed it with a phone. It means raised to power. X^2 means X raised to the power of 2 i.e X².

Why didn't yhu solve with almighty formula... rather than using factorisation method?
I just picked 1.
Thats just 1 of 4 ways of solving it.
I can solve it in 4 different ways. Lol

elegantslayer:
oww I get this....Thanks so much...so wat about this sign^how then did u go about it...
You mean, how to write RAISED TO POWER?
Like m², x², f² etc?

It is quite easy.
There are two ways to do that.

You can use your phone keyboard on Android. When you press the numerical key button(123) and the numbers in your phone are in form of a grid, just long press on a number, it will take it to the power and it will be up as a superscript.

Method 2 is to use the tools on the Nairaland edit tab

Type a letter like X then press the (sup) button on the edit tab. Now, put the power in the middle of the SUP

E.g
If you want to write X³
You will type letter X then you press SUP.
Something like this will appear

X [sup][/sup]

Now, if you put 3 in the middle of the two SUP, by the type you submit, it will come out as X³.

I have attached some images for a better understanding.
Cheers!

which of the solution is correct, there are many solutions up here nawwww....just quote d solution...
The one I solved is correct.
It is a quadratic equation. So, you will have 2 answers for m. I only tested one of the answers to see if it is correct and it is. Both answers are corect.
The correct solution is m= - 4/3 or m=2.

I am on the road and cannot grab a pen but let me use my phone to solve it.
The answer is m=-4/3 or m=2
Check the pictures atta he'd for a comprehensive solution.
The solution up is the correct one. Let us check.
Suppose m is 2 as solved,
(3/2)m²-m-4=0
(3/2)x2²-2-4=0
(3/2)x4-2-4=0
6-2-4=0
0=0
Hence,the solution is correct @elegantslayer.

I'm telling you.
If you buy 1k suya sef close to Northern foreshore, you will think it is 200 naira suya. shocked. The suya sellers make nothing less than 100k per night if I'm not mistaken.

AngryIgboMan:
People should be careful. I live in Lagos. This is a scam.

Cheapest self con in chevron estate is over 700k... Thats even if there is one there.

Even average price of self con within Lekki axis is between 400-500k not to talk if Chevron... Home of the Super Rich.

I took a client house hunting within there one day and we couldn't find an empty one bedroom flat.

There is an estate I went to one day within chevron and i saw over 50 cars. The cheapest car there is 30 Million.

3 bedroom Flats at chevron range from 2 million to 7 million per annum.

Does this area look like where you can get a room for 700k not to talk of 250k?

Alarm bells are ringing.
That was my fear when I said it is so cheap. The only way you can get that price is if someone who stays in a duplex just want to rent the boys quatre at the back at a give away price of 250k but the OP says the apartment is upstairs and that's why I'm wondering how come??

It is well ooo. But really if I had a place to stay on the island I would have come for search of jobs oo. Las las we go smile

Self con for #250k,and its cheap? Or I don't know what self con is again?! How do you guys do this. Una dey try oo
It is cheap considering the location. Houses are so expensive on the Island. That price is what we get for a self contain around Awoyaya axis which is farther down with at least 20 minutes drive . But 250k at Chevron is cheap considering the location and the way houses are priced here.

I need a lady to share a self con in Chevron, Lekki. Total package is 320k, with rent per annum at 250k. The apartment is upstairs and it's lovely. Mention/dm me if interested, this is urgent please. Happy prosperous new year guys!
This is pretty cheap for that price. You're lucky.

Any sensible person would figure out that the so called Nobody came on this thread to pretend. He may not have defrauded anyone but it is obvious he does not have good customer care relationship.

Why would he block a customerhuh
Why would he not explain the terms and conditions to a customerhuh
If he had handled the issue well, the OP would not have opened the thread.

OP, sorry for the delay. I will like to believe that your order will arrive soon.

In how many ways can the letters of the word OBASANJO be arranged such that the vowels will not be together. Need help on this question please, I promised my cousin to assist. Thank you
Step 1.

You have to find the total number of ways the entire words can be arranged and that is 8!/(2! 2!)- This is because letters O and A are doubled.

8!/(2!2!)= 1680 ways


Step 2

You have to find the number of ways the word can be arranged if the vowels must be together. E. G
(OAAO) BSNJ.

This implies that the vowels are 1 letter and we have 4 other letters which are BSNJ

Number of arrangement in this scenerio is 5!= 120

But we also know that each of the vowels can swap positions in this arrangement. Each one can maintain 4 different positions. Thus, the the number of ways of arrangement if the vowels must be together is 120 x 4 =480 ways

Finally, the number of ways of arranging the name OBASANJO if the vowels must not be together = Total number of arrangements possible - Total number of arrangements when vowels are together

This implies 1680-480
Therefore, answer = 1200 ways

I hope this helps?

If you want to bet, you cannot be stupid. You must be a master of correlation, regression, statistics, probability, big data analysis and so on. Putting a mere 5 games on a ticket takes me at least 5 hours of research and analysis.

Anyway, I'm one of the few successful ones due to my mathematical and scientific approach to sports betting. There will be one or two losses in between but I have won far more than I have lost. I have a small apartment here on the Island because of proximity to work. I just paid my landlord about 300k rent from my cumulative winning in just 1 week. I raised almost 600k in just 1 week(That was around last week or so).

Betting is NOT a business

Betting should have been a form of entertainment or adrenaline rush at best


But because Nigeria is a poverty stricken hopeless country

Everyone in it sees is as a means of income, and a means to hammer undecided

Betting is only business for the bet owners
A means to hammer is not a business. Okay?
If it is merely for fun, why is cash being staked?
Is the essence of staking cash not to get an increased profit?
If you put down cash with a probability of getting more, is that not a sort of business?

Maybe you need to get a dictionary to relearn the basic principle of business which is to make profits.

Several clueless people on this topic.
Well, the truth is that, betting requires a whole lot of work and it is not for the lazy people who want to make quick cash and not do the work.
In betting, they take the money of the foolish and give to the wise.
They also take the money of the senseless poor people and give it to the rich.
Like every other business, betting is a business and must be taken from a business point of view.
