GENERAL FORM

2.2.1

Identifying

Example 1

Example 2

4x + 3 = 2x
2x + 3 = 0
The highest power of variable x is 1
Therefore 4x + 3 = 2x is not a quadratic
equation

x(x + 5) = 7
x2 + 5x - 7 = 0
The highest power of variable x is 2
Therefore x(x + 5) = 7 is a quadratic
equation

Exercises 1
Identify which of the following are quadratic equation
1. 3 =

5
2x

.2.

x(2x + 3) = x - 7

(3m + 5)2 = 8m

3. ( x + 4 )(2x 6) + 3 = 0

4.

5. x (7 - 2x + 3x2) = 0

6. 3x2 5 = 2x( x + 4)

2.2.2 Recognising general form of quadratic equation .ax2 + bx c = 0

Example 1

Example 1

.x2 = 5x 9
.x2 5x + 9 = 0

4x

Compare with the general form


.ax2 + bx c = 0
Thus, a = 1, b = -5 and c = 9

x 2 2x
x

4x(x) = x2 2x
4x2 - x2 2x = 0
3x2 2x = 0
Compare with the general form
Thus, a = 3, b = - 2 and c = 0

SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

2.3.1 Factorisation

Example 1

Example 2

.x2 + 6x + 5 = 0
( x + 3)(x + 2) = 0
.x + 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
.x = -3
x =-2

x + 3
.x + 2

3x
2x

.x2 + 6

5x

4(x +3) = x(2x 1)


4x + 12 = 2x2 - x
2x2 - 5x - 12 = 0
(2x + 3)(x - 4) = 0
2x + 3 = 0 or x - 4 = 0
3
.x =
x= 4
2
Therefore, The roots of the equation
are

Therefore, The roots of the equation are


.x = -3 and -2

Determine the types of roots for each of the following quadratic equations

. a = 1, b = -12 , c = 27

2.4 SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING (.b2 - 4ac )


The discriminant b2 - 4ac of the quadratic equation can be used to
a) find an unknown value in an equation
Example 1

Example 2

The quadratic equation x2 - 2px + 25 = 0


Has two equal roots. Find the value p

The quadratic equation x2 2kx = -(k 1)2


Has no roots. Find the range of values of k

x2 - 2px + 25 = 0
Thus, a = 1, b = -2p , c = 25
Using .b2 - 4ac = 0
(-2p)2 4(1)(25) = 0
4p2 - 100 = 0
4p2 = 100
p2 = 25
p = 25
p = 5

x2 2kx = -(k 2)2


x2 2kx + (k 2)2 = 0
Compare with ax2 + bx + c = 0
Thus .a = 1, b = - 2k , c = (k 2)2
Using b2 - 4ac < 0
(-2k)2 4(k2 -2k + 1)< 0
4k2 - 4k2 + 8k 4 < 0
8k 4 < 0
8k < 4
