I've come up with my own quadratic equation

[DavidNyan10]

I know I'm 8 years too late [for this thread], but I've came up with my own quadratic equation:

[math]ax^2+bx+c\:=\:0\hspace{1in}a,\:b,\:c\:\in\:\mathbb{R} \\\\ x\:=\:-\frac{c}{b}+a\left[\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a^2}+\frac{c}{ab}\right][/math]

I've came up with my own quadratic equation:

[math]ax^2+bx+c\:=\:0\hspace{1in}a,\:b,\:c\:\in\:\mathbb{R} \\\\ x\:=\:-\frac{c}{b}+a\left[\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a^2}+\frac{c}{ab}\right][/math]

Do you perhaps mean to say that you have invented your own Quadratic Formula? If so, how do you feel that what you have posted is new or distinct? (Note: It simplifies to the "regular" Quadratic Formula, so I'm not seeing how your "equation" is different from the regular Formula.)

This is not correct.

Can you please explain how you can use your formula when b=0. I seem to be confused.

For the record, you can take any formula, add and subtract the same value and/or multiply and divide by the same number and then claim that you now have a different formula.. The question is whether the formula is different from the original one.

May I ask what the point is that you are trying to make? Also, why are you 8 years too old for this post??

...why are you 8 years too old for this post??

This question was original appended to an 8-year-old thread. Apparently the link to that old thread did not survive the splitting. (??)

Apologies for the confusion. ?

Does the original thread explain why a "new" form of the quadratic formula would be useful?

If memory serves, the original thread was about using the Quadratic Formula.
