Quadratic Equation

All Types & Tricks

(ax² + bx + c = 0)
Examples of a Quadratic Equation

3x² + 5x + 4 = 0 In this one a=3, b=5 and c=4

x² -6x = 0 In this one a=1, b=6 and c=0

This one is not a quadratic equation: it is

4x-3=0
missing x²
 How To Solve Quadratic Equation?
The "solutions" to the Quadratic Equation are called "roots"

There are a few different ways to find the solutions:

we can use the special Quadratic Formula:

x = -b ± √ (b² – 4ac) )/2a.

Or we can Factor the Quadratic (find what to multiply to make

the Quadratic Equation)
Or we can solve this by using short cut method
 Sign Rule
Condition Roots

ax² + bx + c = 0 Both roots will be Negetive

ax² - bx + c = 0 Both roots will be Positive

ax² + bx - c = 0 One root + and other 0ne -

ax² - bx - c = 0 One root + and other 0ne -
 Solve the given equations and choose the correct option:
step 1:
1. x² - 7x + 10 = 0
2. y² - 5y + 6 = 0
factors of 10= -5,-2
x=5,2
A. X>Y
B. X<Y
y² -5y + 6 = 0
C. X≤ Y
D. X ≥Y step 1: factors of 6= -2,-3
E. X=Y or no relation can be established y=2,3
so answer is E
 Solve the given equations and choose the correct option:

step 1: 5*28=140
1. 5x² -24x + 28 = 0
factors of 140= (-10,-14)*1
2. 3y² -21y + 36 = 0 x=10,14

A. X>Y step 1: divide equation by 3

B. X<Y y² -7y + 12 = 0
C. X≤ Y step 2: factors of 12= (-4,-3)
D. X ≥Y y=(4, 3)*5
E. X=Y or no relation can be established y= 20, 15
so answer is X<Y
 Solve the given equations and choose the correct option:

1. x² +32x + 231 = 0 step 1:

2. y² +3y -88 = 0 factors of 231= 11,21
x=-11,-21
A. X>Y
B. X<Y step 1:
factors of 88= (11,-8)
C. X≤ Y
y= -11,8
D. X ≥Y
so answer is X≤Y
E. X=Y or no relation can be established
 Solve the given equations and choose the correct option:

1. 3x² + 31x + 78 = 0
step 1: 3*78=234
2. 3y² +15y + 18 = 0
factors of 3*13*6= (18,13)*1
x=-18,-13
A. X>Y
B. X<Y step 1: divide equation by 3
C. X≤ Y y² + 5y + 6 = 0
D. X ≥Y step 2: factors of 6= (2,3)*3
E. X=Y or no relation can be established y=-6,-9
so answer is X<Y
 Solve the given equations and choose the correct option:

1. 6x² + 13x - 169 = 0

Apply sign rule. We don't need to
2. y² + 8y - 65 = 0
solve this question. Whenever there wiil
be negative sign before C in both equation
A. X>Y our answer will be no relation can be
B. X<Y established.
C. X≤ Y
D. X ≥Y
E. X=Y or no relation can be established
 Solve the given equations and choose the correct option:

1. x² = 196
Apply sign rule. We don't need to
2. y² + 2y - 48 = 0
solve this question. Because
X = +14, -14
A. X>Y And whenever there wiil
B. X<Y be negative sign before C one root will be
C. X≤ Y positive and other will be negative so we
D. X ≥Y cant compare X and Y.
our answer will be no relation can be
E. X=Y or no relation can be established
established.
