Quadratic Equations: (When maximum power is 2)

Quadratic Equation in one variable

Quadratic Equation in two variables

Quadratic Equation in One Variable:

General Form of a Quadratic Equation:

where,
is the coefficient (number in front) of the term
is coefficient (number in front) of the x term
is the constant term (number on its own)

Solution of Quadratic Equations:

What does solving an equation mean?


→ It means find the values of
→ No. of solutions = Power of equation
→ Since quadratic equation has power 2 so it will have 2 solutions or
answers
→ The values are also called the roots of the equation or solutions of the
equation.

Methods of solving Quadratic Equations:


a) Using Factorization
b) Using Quadratic Formula
c) Using Completing Square method
d) Using Graph

To solve a quadratic equation it must equal to 0.

To solve a quadratic equation it must equal to 0.
Make sure the quadratic equation is in the general form.

Example 1:

Solve the quadratic equation

Solution:

a) Using Factorization

Either, or

b) Using Quadratic Formula

Here,

Put the values in Quadratic Formula

c) Using completing square method

Step 1: Take the coefficient of middle term and find the half of that value then
take its square

Step 2: Add and subtract

Taking square root on both sides

d) Using Graph

The solutions are shown where the graph cuts the

Sketching Quadratic Graph:

The graph of a quadratic function is a curve called 'parabola'.

Step 1: Rearrange the equation into general form

Step 1: Rearrange the equation into general form

Step 2: Check the coefficient of

The coefficent of

If i.e. if is positive, then the curve will be a concave up.

If i.e. if is negative, then the curve will be a concave down.

Step 3: Find the

The constant value in the quadratic function is the

Step 4: Find the

The
it will not intersect the

Step 5: Find the turning point of the graph using completing square

The turning point maybe a maximum or a minimum depending on the overall


shape of the graph.

If the graph is a concave up , it has a minimum point.

If the graph is a concave down , it has a maximum point.

After finding and the turning point of the graph, place


these points on the xy-plane and then draw a smooth curve passing through
