Quadratic Equation

A quadratic equation is a type of polynomial equation that can be written in the standard
form: ax2+bx+c=0

where :

● a, b, and c are constants (with a≠0)


● x is the variable.

2. Quadratic Function

A quadratic function is a function that can be written in the standard form


: f(x)=ax2+bx+c

where :

● a, b, and c are constants (with a≠0)


● x is the independent variable.
● f(x) represents the output (or y-value).

Forms of a Quadratic Function

1. Standard Form: f(x)=ax2+bx+c

Useful for identifying the y-intercept.

2. Vertex Form): f(x)=a(x−h)2+k

The vertex is (h,k)

3. Factored Form; f(x)=a(x−r1)(x−r2)

r1,r2 are the x-intercepts.


3. Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of
the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the
lengths of the other two sides.

a2+b2=c2

where:

● a and b are the lengths of the legs (the two shorter sides),
● c is the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side, opposite the right angle).
