Quadratic Equations are polynomial equations of degree 2 in one variable, such as $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c = 0, $$where a, b, and c are all in R and a is not zero. It is the general form of a quadratic equation, with ‘a’ denoting the leading coefficient and ‘c’ denoting the absolute term of f (x). The quadratic equation’s roots are the values of x that satisfy the equation (α, β).

Quadratic Equation Formula

The quadratic formula determines the solution or roots of a quadratic problem.

$$ x = (α, β) = \frac{-b±\sqrt {b^2-4ac }}{2a} $$ 

How do you solve quadratic equations?

There are generally four ways to solve quadratic problems. They are:

1. Factoring
2. Complete the square.
3. Using the Quadratic Formula
4. Taking the Square Root

Frequently Asked Questions About Quadratics

Q1.What is a quadratic equation?
A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation with the maximum degree equal to two. The equation is provided by ax² + bx + c = 0, where an is not zero.

Q2: What are the procedures for solving a quadratic equation?
There are four main approaches for solving quadratic equations. They are Factorisation, Using Square Roots, Complete the square and Using Quadratic Formula.

Q3.Write the quadratic equation as a sum and product of roots.
If α and β are the roots of a quadratic equation, their total is α+β.
The product of roots equals αβ.
Thus, the required equation is: x^2 – (α+β)x + (αβ) = 0.
