CHAPTER 1
QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
1.
The equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, a  0 is the standard form of a quadratic
equation, where a, b and c are real numbers.
2.
A real number  is said to be a root of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx
+ c = 0, a  0. If a2 + b + c = 0, the zeroes of quadratic polynomial ax2
+ bx + c and the roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are the
same.
3.
If we can factorise ax2 + bx + c = 0, a  0 into product of two linear factors,
then the roots of the quadratic equation can be found by equating each
factors to zero.
4.
The roots of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, a  0 are given by

A quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, a  0, has ___
(a)
Two distinct and real roots, if b2 – 4ac > 0.
(b)
Two equal and real roots, if b2 – 4ac = 0.
(c)
Two roots are not real, if b2 – 4ac < 0.
A quadratic equation can also be solved by the method of completing the
square.
(i)
a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
(ii)
a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2
Discriminant of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, a  0 is given by
