6 EQUATION

Quadratic Equation
If p(x) is a quadratic polynomial, the p(x) = 0
where a,b,c ∈ R and a ≠ 0
Type 1 - Checking Quadratic Equation
Step 1 - Simplifying equation
Step 2 - Check the degree of polynomial
Step 3 - Equation should be in the form of ax²+bx+c=0
Example Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Type 2 - Whether given values are solution of eq.

Step 1 : Put value of x in LHS equation
Step 2 : If LHS = 0 = RHS

LHS = RHS

LHS ≠ RHS
 Type 3 - Finding unknown in quadratic eq.
Step 1 : Put value of x in equation
Step 2 : Simplify it
e.g. - ,
⇒
⇒
Type 4 - Making Eq from statements
