1. A quadratic equation can be defined as an equation. This means that the highest exponent of the
polynomial in it is 2. The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax 2  bx  c  0 , where a, b and c
are real numbers and a  0 . Every quadratic equation has two roots depending on the nature of its
discriminant, D  b 2  4ac.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
