Solving Cubic equations or polynomials of greater order Quadratic I firstly solved our quadratic equations using factorising, this worked well until I found equations that have factors that are not whole. I used the formula for these equations, although the formula is very hard to remember and if it's written incorrectly the answer will be wrong, so I tried using graphs this was ok although the graphs are not very accurate, they are only around 1 decimal place. Factorise X² - 6x + 5 (x - 5) (x - 1) = 0 x = 5 or x = 1 Solve using formula - b +/- V b² - 4ac 2a + 6 +/- V 36 - 4 x 1 x -5 2 x 1 + 6 + V 56 or + 6 - V 56 2 2 Cubic Here I first tried solving the equations by factorising, as with the quadratic equations this worked well until I came across equations with factors including...
