I guess you mean the standard quadratic equation, of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0.There are three main algebraic methods, namely:
* Factoring
* Completing the square
* Using the quadratic formula
Since you want five, here are a few more, but they are usually not very convenient to use for this particular type of equation:
* Trial and error
* Graphic the equation
* Diverse iterative methods, such as Newton's method, etc.

1. Factoring 2. Quadratic formula
3. Plot the graph
4. Complete the square.
5. Numerical methods: "Trial and Improvement" or, for quicker results, the Newton-Raphson iteration.

What are some methods of solving quadratic equations?
Here are some methods you can use:* Trial and error. This works especially well if the solution is a small integer. * Factoring. You must first write the equation in such a form that you have zero on the right. * Completing the square. * Using the quadratic formula. The last two methods work in all cases. The quadratic formula is easier to work with in the general case.
What is the quadratic formula used for?
The quadratic formula is used all the time to solve quadratic equations, often when the factors are fractions or decimals but sometimes as the first choice of solving method. The quadratic formula is sometimes faster than completing the square or any other factoring methods. Quadratic formula find: -x-intercept -where the parabola cross the x-axis -roots -solutions

How many existing methods are there in solving quadratic equations?
There are 5 existing methods in solving quadratic equations. For the first 4 methods (quadratic formula, factoring, graphing, completing the square) you can easily find them in algebra books. I would like to explain here the new one, the Diagonal Sum Method, recently presented in book titled:"New methods for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Trafford 2009). It directly gives the 2 roots in the form of 2 fractions, without having to factor the equation. The innovative concept of the method is finding 2 fractions knowing their Sum (-b/a) and their Product (c/a). It is very fast, convenient and is applicable whenever the given quadratic equation is factorable. In general, it is hard to tell in advance if a given quadratic equation can be factored. However, if this new method fails to find the answer, then we can conclude that the equation can not be factored, and consequently, the quadratic formula must be used. This new method can replace the trial-and-error factoring method since it is faster, more convenient, with fewer permutations and fewer trials.
What are the steps to solving a quadratic equation?
In general, there are two steps in solving a given quadratic equation in standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0. If a = 1, the process is much simpler. The first step is making sure that the equation can be factored? How? In general, it is hard to know in advance if a quadratic equation is factorable. I suggest that you use first the new Diagonal Sum Method to solve the equation. It is fast and convenient and can directly give the 2 roots in the form of 2 fractions. without having to factor the equation. If this method fails, then you can conclude that the equation is not factorable, and consequently, the quadratic formula must be used. See book titled:" New methods for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Trafford Publishing 2009) The second step is solving the equation by the quadratic formula. This book also introduces a new improved quadratic formula, that is easier to remember by relating the formula to the x-intercepts with the parabola graph of the quadratic function.
Can all quadratics be solved by completing the square?
Completing the square is one method for solving a quadratic equation. A quadratic equation can also be solved by factoring, using the square roots or quadratic formula.
