Hi, I was just reading up on some material for one of my exams and came across something. I realize this may seem like a trivial, obvious question but:
What is the easiest way to find the solutions of the polynomial (for example):
(x^2) - (1/6)x - 1/6 = 0
Other than guessing and testing for the correct values of x, what is the quickest and most efficient method of solving for x when the coefficients of each term is a fraction rather than a whole number? Thanks in advance.
