MAT 126 Solving Quadratic Equations Using the Indian MethodProject 1Shantae LovettMAT 126Instructor: Farshad ForoozanSeptember 4, 2012In this assignment, you explored the method of solving quadratic equations, oftenreferred to as the Indian method. Based on your work:1.Explain the step-by-step process you followed to solve the quadratic equationx2−2x−13=0x^2-2x-13 = 0x2−2x−13=0, including all intermediate steps.2.How did multiplying both sides of the equation by four times the coefficient ofthe x2x^2x2 term help you simplify the equation?3.Describe how you used square roots to solve the equation.4.Similarly, solve the second quadratic equation x2+12x−64=0x^2 + 12x-64 =0x2+12x−64=0 using the same method, showing all steps and calculations.5.Reflect on how you found the method helpful or challenging and how you plan touse it in the future.Yourresponse should be between 500 and 700 words.
