Diamond Problem Calculator

Find two numbers that multiply to X and add to Y

0

📐Diamond Problem Method

Setup
Find x and y where x + y = S, xy = P
Two unknowns, two equations
Quadratic Form
t² - St + P = 0
Convert to quadratic equation
Solution
t = (S ± √(S² - 4P)) / 2
Quadratic formula
Factoring Connection
x² + Sx + P = (x - t₁)(x - t₂)
Used in factoring trinomials
