Quadratic Equations – Concept, Formula & Practice Questions

quadratic equations

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
