    Quadratic equations take the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and a is not equal to 0. There are several methods to solve quadratic equations: 1) Graphing the quadratic function and finding where the graph intersects the x-axis. 2) Factorizing the equation into the product of two linear factors. 3) Using the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. The document provides examples of solving quadratic equations graphically, by factorizing, and using the quadratic formula. It also includes homework questions asking to sketch quadratic graphs and solve equations using

    Quadratic Equations

    In mathematics, a quadratic equation is a univariate polynomial equation of the second


    degree. A general quadratic equation can be written in the form

    Where x represents a variable or an unknown

    and a, b, and c are constants with a not equal to 0. (If a = 0, the equation is a linear equation.)

    The constants a, b, and c are called, respectively, the quadratic coefficient .Quadratic equations
    can be solved by factoring (or "factorising" in British English), completing the square, using the
    quadratic formula, and graphing

    Solving the quadratic equation


    1. Graphical Method
    A quadratic equation with real or complex coefficients has two solutions, called roots. These two
    solutions may or may not be distinct, and they may or may not be real

    The x-coordinates of the points where the graph intersects the x-axis, x = −1 and
    x = 2, are the solutions of the quadratic equation: x2 − x − 2 = 0.
    The graph of the quadratic function can either open upward or
    downward. If a<0 then it open downwards .
    If a > 0 then it open upwards.

    HW Qn. Sketch the graph of the following function


    f(x) = 2 x2 -85x +200

    2 Factorising
    For the quadratic function:

    f (x) = x2 − x − 2 = (x + 1)(x − 2) of a real variable x,


    x=-1 and x=2 are the solutions.

    Qn :Solve the following quadratic equations using factorising


    (a) X2 -11x +30
    (b) X2+10x+24
    (c) X2 - 4x-12

    3 Using Quadratic formula


    Qns : Solve the quadratic formula to solve the following equations
    (a) -5x2 +12x +40 =0
    (b) 3x2 +24x-9 =0
