INTRODUCTION

* A quadratic equation in the variable x is an equation of the form ax²+bx+c=0 where a, b, c are real numbers, a ≠ 0. For example 2x²+x-300=0 is a quadratic equation.

* Any equation of the form p(x)=0, where p(x) is a polynomial of degree 2, is a quadratic equation. But, when we write the terms of p(x) in descending order of their degrees, then we get the standard form of the equation, that is ax²+bx+c=0.

* The constants a, b, and c are called the quadratic coefficients, the linear coefficients and the constant terms respectively.

ROOTS OF QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

*A real number α is called a root of the quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0, then we say that: x =α satisfies the equation, thus it is a solution of the equation ax²+bx+c=0.

*The root of a quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0 are called zeroes of the polynomial ax²+bx+c.

NOTE:- The zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ax²+bx+c and the roots of the quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0 are the same.

REMEMBER:- Any quadratic equation can have at most two roots.

MORE EXAMPLES OF QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

* 2x²+5x+3=0 In this one a=2, b=5 and c=3.

* x²-3x=0 This one is a little more tricky: where is a? In fact a=1, as we don’t usually write “1x²”, b=-3 and where is c? Well c=0, so it is not shown.

  • * 5x-3=0 Oops! This one is not a quadratic equation, because it is missing (in other words a=0, and that means it can’t be a quadratic equation.)

HIDDEN QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

So far we have seen the “standard form” of a quadratic equation: ax²+bx+c=0

But, sometimes a quadratic equation doesn’t looks like that.

Here are some examples of different forms:

IN DISGUISE

IN STANDARD FORM

a, b and c

x²=3x-1

Move all terms to left hand side

x²-3x+1=0

a=1, b=(-3) and c=1

2(w²-2w)=5

Expand (undo the brackets), and move 5 to left

2w²-4w-5=0

a=2, b=(-4) and c=(-5)

z(z-1)=3

Expand, and move 3 to left

z²-z-3=0

a=1, b=(-1) and c=(-3)

5+1/x-1/x²=0

Multiply by

5x²+x-1=0

a=5, b=1 and c=(-1)

FACTORIZATION METHOD

Step 1: Find the product of first and last term (a*c).

Step 2: Find the factors of ac in such way that addition or subtraction of the factors of ac is the middle term b.

Step 3: (Splitting of middle term)

write the middle term using the sum of the two new factors, including the proper signs.

Step 4: Group the terms to form pairs and factor out the common binomial.

Step 5: Set the binomial found equal to 0 and solve the linear equation to find the zeroes of the quadratic equation.

USING THE FACTORIZATION METHOD

Q, Solve x²+3x-4=0 Q. Solve 100x²-20x+1=0

Sol. x²+3x-4=0 Sol. 100x²-20x+1=0

x²-x+4x-4=0 100x²-10x-10x+1=0

x(x-1)+4(x-1)=0 10x(10x-1)-1(10x-1)=0

(x+4) (x-1)=0 (10x-1) (10x-1)=0

Either (x+4)=0 or (x-1)=0 Either (10x-1)=0 or (10x-1)=0

x=(-4) and x=1 x=1/10 and x=1/10

QUESTIONS RELATED TO QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

Q. If x=3, is one root of the quadratic equation x²-2kx-6=0, then find the value of k.

Sol. x²-2kx-6=0

since x=3 is a root,

3²-2(k)(3)-6=0

9-6k-6=0

3-6k=0

6k=3

K=1/2

Q. If -5 is a root of the quadratic equation 2x²+px-15=0 and the quadratic equation p(x²+x)+k=0 has equal roots, find the value of k.

Sol. Given, -5 is a root of the quadratic equation

2x²+px-15=0

2(-5)²+p(-5)-15=0

50-5p-15=0

35-5p=0

5p=35

p=7

Substituting the value of p in p(x²+x)+k=0

7(x²+x)+k=0

7x²+7x+k=0

The roots of the equation are equal

D=b²-4ac=0

Here, a=7, b=7, c=k

b²-4ac=0

7²-4(7)(k)=0

49-28k=0

k=49/28 or k=7/4

Q. Solve for x:

x²-(3+1)x+ √3=0

Sol. x²-(√3+1)x+ √3=0

x²-√3x-x+√3=0

x(x-√3)-1(x-√3)=0

(x-√3)(x-1)=0

Either, x-√3=0 or x-1=0

So, x= √3 or x=1
