Identifying if the equation is quadratic or not
Equations Is it Explanation
Quadratic?
2x3 – 4x + 5 = 0 No The highest degree/exponent is 3.
7x2 – 6x + 1 = 0 Yes The highest degree/exponent is 2. It is also
written in standard form; ax2+bx+c=0.
5x + 3x + 2 = 0 No The highest degree/exponent is 1.
4x2 = 16 Yes The equation’s highest degree is 2. The value of
b is 0.
2x2 = 8x - 3 Yes The equation can be written as 2x2 – 8x + 3 = 0
which is the standard form.
 Converting quadratic equations into standard form
Standard form: ax2 + bx + c = 0

1) Convert the equation x2 + 3x = -4

x2 + 3x = -4 Transpose -4 on the left side.

x2 + 3x + 4 = 0
Converting quadratic equations into standard form
Standard form: ax2 + bx + c = 0

2) Convert the equation x = -8 – 5x2

x + 8 = – 5x2 Transpose -8 on the left side.

5x2 + x + 8 = 0 Transpose -5x2 on the left side.
Converting quadratic equations into standard form
Standard form: ax2 + bx + c = 0

3) Convert the equation (x − 10)(x − 4) = 0

(x − 10)(x − 4) = 0 Use the foil method or multiply the terms.

x2 -4x -10x + 40 = 0 Combine like terms.
x2 -14x + 40 = 0

Example 1: What are the roots of the equation, x2 + 10x + 9 = 0?

= = = 25 Find the value of
x2 + 10x = -9 The equation should be in the form x2 + bx = c
x2 + 10x + 25 = -9 + 25 Complete the square.
x2 + 10x + 25 = 16 Simplify.
(x+5)2 = 16 Square root both sides.
