Answer the following:
What is a polynomial?
What is a quadratic polynomial?
What is an equation?
What is a linear equation?
What is the degree of the variable in a linear
equation?
If the degree of the variable in an equation is
2, then what type of equation is it?
Today we are going to learn the topic:
Quadratic Equations
Why should we study Quadratic equations???
Quadratic equations come up when we deal with many real-life situations.
For example, suppose our school decides to build a
prayer hall having a carpet area of 300 square metres with
its length one metre more than twice its breadth. What
should be the length and breadth of the hall?

Factorising the quadratic equation
To "Factor" (or "Factorize") a Quadratic is to find what to
multiply to get the Quadratic polynomial. It is called
"Factoring" because you find the factors (a factor is
something you multiply by)
Example
The factors of x2 + 3x - 4 are: (x+4) and (x-1)
Why? Well, let us multiply them to see:
(x+4)(x-1) = x(x-1) + 4(x-1) = x2 - x + 4x - 4 = x2 +
3x – 4
Multiplying (x+4)(x-1) together is called Expanding.
In fact, Expanding and Factoring are opposites:
Let us perform an activity to
factorise a quadratic
polynomial (Hyperlink)
Let us solve :
Q1. Solve by factorising x2 + 3x = 0
x2 + 3x = 0
x( x + 3) = 0
x = 0 or x + 3 = 0
x = -3
Hence roots are 0 and -3
Q2. Solve x -7x + 12 = 0

provided b2 - 4ac ≥ 0.

The expression b2 - 4ac in the formula
a)D>0 b) D=0 c)
D<0
Real and distinct Real and equal
Let us sing a song
(hyperlink)to
remember quadratic
formula.
Using the Quadratic Formula
Just put the values of a, b and c into the Quadratic Formula, and do
the calculation
Example: Solve 5x² + 6x =-1
Coefficients are: a = 5, b = 6, c = 1
Quadratic Formula: x = [ -b ± √(b2-4ac) ] / 2a
Put in a, b and c: 6 6 2 4 5 1
x= 2 5
6 36 20
x = 10
6 16
x = 10
6 4
x= 10 Hence, x = -0.2 or -1
Continue..
Answer: x = -0.2 or x = -1
Check -0.2: 5×(-0.2)² + 6×(-0.2) + 1
= 5×(0.04) + 6×(-0.2) + 1
= 0.2 -1.2 + 1
= 0 Check -1: 5×(-1)² + 6×(-1) + 1
= 5×(1) + 6×(-1) + 1
= 5-6+1
= 0
solve for x:
Qn. Find the value of k for which the
quadratic equation 2x2+kx+3=0
has two real and equal roots.
Solution:
If we write the fiven equation in the form of ax2+bx+c=0,
we get
a=2, b=k and c=3
D= b2 – 4ac= k2 – 4×2×3= = k2 –24
