“quad” which means
square. It is used to
directly obtain the roots
of a quadratic equation
form the standard for of
equation.
 FORMULA
The general form of a quadratic equation is,
ax2 + bx + c = 0
where a, b, c are real numbers (constants) and a ≠
0, while b and c may be zero.

ax2 + bx + c = 0
DISCOVERYDiscovery
OF PYTHAGORAS’ THEOREM
Of Quadratic Equation

The Quadratic Expression was first known in the 9th-century, by the

Persian mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī but the
quadratic formula covering all cases was first obtained by Simon
Stevin in 1594.
c Who was Al-Khwarizmi?

Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, or al-Khwarizmi, was a Persian polymath

from Khwarazm, who produced vastly influential works in mathematics,
astronomy, and geography. Al-Khwārizmī's major accomplishments were the
books he wrote on mathematics and science. His mathematical books
introduced the ideas of algebra and Hindu-Arabic numerals to Western
mathematicians during the Middle Ages.

EXAMPLE ONE:

-6a(-5-2a) = 0

Either -6a = 0 or -5-2a = 0

a=0 or a = -5/2
a=0 or a = -2 ½

So the answer can only be 0 or -2 ½

EXAMPLE TWO:

49f2 – 140f – 100 = 0

Using splitting method:

49f2 – 70f -70f – 100 = 0
7f(7f-10) -10(7f+10) = 0
(7f-10)(7f+10) = 0
7f = 10
f = 10/7
f = 1 3/7
DAILY LIFE USES OF
PYTHAGORAS’ h

THEOREM
DAILY LIFE USES OF PYTHAGORAS’ THEOREM

Quadratic functions are used in many types of real-world situations.

They are useful in :
describing the trajectory of a ball,
determining the height of a thrown object,
in optimizing profit for businesses.
DAILY LIFE USES OF QUADRATIC EXPRESSION
For example;

A ball is thrown straight up, from 3 m above the ground, with a velocity of 14 m/s. When
does it hit the ground?

Ignoring air resistance, we can work out its height by adding up these three things:
(Note: t is time in seconds)

The height starts at 3 m: 3

It travels upwards at 14 meters per second (14 m/s): 14t

Gravity pulls it down, changing its position by about 5 m per

−5t2
second squared:
Solution;

Add them up and the height h at any time t is:

h = 3 + 14t − 5t2
And the ball will hit the ground when the height is zero:
3 + 14t − 5t2 = 0
In standard form it looks like this:
- 5t2 + 14t + 3 = 0
Multiply all terms by -1:
5t2 – 14t – 3 = 0
Using splitting method:
5t2 – 15t – t – 3 = 0
5t(t - 3) + 1(t-3) = 0
(5t+1) (t-3) = 0
Either 5t+1 = 0 or 1-3 = 0
t = 0.2 or 0=3
