Quadratic Equations
A polynomial that has two roots or is of degree 2 is called a quadratic equation. The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax²+bx+c. Here a≠0, b, and c are the real numbers.
Consider the following equation ax²+bx+c=0, where a≠0 and a, b, and c are real coefficients.
The solution of a quadratic equation can be found using the formula, x=((-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a)
Two important points to keep in mind are:
- A polynomial equation has at least one root.
- A polynomial equation of degree ‘n’ has ‘n’ roots.
