Where does Algebra fit into all of this? Algebra is sometimes characterized by complex formulas that make operations easier... Would you rather solve by factoring... \(\frac{1}{2}x^2+2\frac{7}{8}x-\frac{3}{4}=0\) or use the quadratic formula? btw...it factors to: \((\frac {1}{2}x+3)(x-\frac{1}{4})\) Where does Algebra fit into all of this?
