Quadratic Equations (Quick Revision)

Quadratic Equations and the Roots

• General form : ax 2 + bx + c = 0
• Highest power of the unknown, x, is 2.

Solving Quadratics Equations

• factorisation
• formula
−b ± b 2 − 4ac
x=
2a
• completing the square

Formation of Equations from Roots


1. If α and β are the roots of a QE, hence
x 2 − ( sum of roots ) x + ( product of roots ) = 0 LL (1)

2. Consider general form of quadratic equation is ax 2 + bx + c = 0 , hence,

ax 2 + bx + c = 0
 b c
a  x2 + x +  = 0
 a a
 b c
∴  x 2 + x +  = 0 LL ( 2 )
 a a

By comparison of (1) and ( 2 ) ,

b c
SoR = − PoR =
a a
