What Is It
A quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical sentence of
degree 2 that can be written in the following standard form.

ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a 0.

In the equation, ax2 is the quadratic term, bx is the linear term, and c is the
constant term.

Why do you think a must not be equal to zero? What happens to the
equation when a is equal to zero?

The value of a must not be equal to zero because it is the numerical

coefficient of the quadratic term.

Example 1: 3x2 + 7x – 1 = 0 is a quadratic equation in standard form with

a = 3, b = 7, c = -1.
Example 2: 2x(x - 4) = 12 is a quadratic equation. However, it is not written in
standard form. To transform it to its standard form, use distributive
property and make one side of the equation zero as shown below.
2x(x - 4) = 12 2x2 – 8x = 12 , by distributive property
2x2 – 8x – 12 = 12 – 12 , by subtraction property
2x2 – 8x – 12 = 0
The standard form of 2x(x - 4) = 12 is 2x2 – 8x – 12 = 0 where a = 2, b
= -8, and c = -12.
Example 3: (x + 1)(x - 8)= -9 is also a quadratic equation but is not written in
standard form. Just like in Example 2, transform it to its standard form
using distributive property and make one side of the equation zero as
shown below.
(x + 1)(x - 8)= -9 x2 – 7x - 8 = -9 , by distributive property
x2 – 7x – 8 + 9 = -9 + 9 , by addition property
x2 – 7x + 1 = 0
The standard form of (x + 1)(x - 8)= -9 is x2 – 7x + 1 = 0 where a = 1, b = -7, and c = 1.
When b = 0 in the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, it results to a quadratic equation
of the form ax2 + c = 0.
Examples: Equations such as 3x2 – 1 = 0, -5x2 + 3 = 0, and x2 - 1 = 0 are quadratic
equations of the form ax2 + c = 0. In each equation, the value of b = 0.

3
 While, equations such as 4x2 – x = 0, -x2 + 5x = 0, and -2x2 – 5x = 0
are quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx = 0. In each equation, the
value of c = 0.
