QUADRATIC EQUATION & EXPRESSION
1.Quadratic expression :
A polynomial of degree two of the form ax
2
+ bx + c, a
≠
0 iscalled a quadratic expression in x.
2.Quadratic equation :
An equation ax
2
+ bx + c = 0, a
≠
0, a, b, c
∈
R has two andonly two roots, given by
α

3.Nature of roots :
Nature of the roots of the given equation depends upon thenature of its discriminant D i.e. b
2
4ac.Suppose a, b, c
∈
R, a
≠
0 then(i)If D > 0
⇒
roots are real and distinct (unequal)(ii)If D = 0
⇒
roots are real and equal (Coincident)(iii)If D < 0
⇒
roots are imaginary and unequal i.e.non real complex numbers.Suppose a, b, c
∈
Q a
≠
0 then(i)If D > 0 and D is a perfect square
⇒
roots are rational& unequal(ii)If D > 0 and D is not a perfect square
⇒
roots areirrational and unequal.or a quadratic equation their will exist exactly 2 roots realor imaginary. If the equation ax
2
+ bx + c = 0 is satisfied formore than 2 distinct values of x, then it will be an identity & will be satisfied by all x. Also in this case a = b = c = 0.

7.Roots under particular cases :
or the equation ax
2
+ bx + c = 0, a
≠
0(i)If b = 0
⇒
roots are of equal magnitude but of oppositesign.(ii)If c = 0
⇒
one root is zero and other is b/a(iii)If b = c = 0
⇒
both roots are zero(iv)If a = c
⇒
roots are reciprocal to each other.
