This session is based on the material in section 2.4 of Kelley's "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems"
The section presents a series of problems involving the solving of quadratic equations.
Problem 2.28

In[62]:=

Out[62]=

In[63]:=

Out[63]=

In[64]:=

Out[64]=

In[65]:=

Out[65]=

These problems were all easily handled by Mathematica. But although it quickly gives the answer, there is no sense of how it arrived at the answer.
