Definition 1:
Definition 2:
we call root of the trinomial of degree 2 any possible value of the variable x which
is solution of the quadratic equation : 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0
1- Canonical form of the trinomial
ax2 + bx + c
transformation of the writing ax2 + bx + c
We factorise a (possible because 𝑎 ≠ 0)
But:
Thus,
Therefore,
Definition 3 :
the last expression, of the form 𝑎(𝑥 + 𝛼)2 + 𝛽 is called the canonical form of the
trinomial.
