The steps to derive the quadratic formula are shown below:Step 1ax2 + bx + c = 0Step 2ax2 + bx = − cStep 3x2 + b over a times x equals negative c over aStep 4x2 + b over a times x plus b squared over 4 times a squared equals negative c over a plus b squared over 4 times a squaredStep 5x2 + b over a times x plus b squared over 4 times a squared equals negative 4 multiplied by a multiplied by c, all over 4 multiplied by a squared plus b squared over 4 times a squaredStep 6Provide the next step to derive the quadratic formula.
