?? What is a Quadratic Equation?

A quadratic equation is of the form: ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ? 0.

?? Think of it like a Bollywood plot: The hero (x) must find two secret values (roots) that solve the mystery equation. Sometimes both are real, sometimes they don't exist (imaginary)!

?? Methods to Solve

  1. Factorisation: Split middle term and factor
  2. Completing the Square: Make it a perfect square
  3. Quadratic Formula: x = (-b ± v(b²-4ac)) / 2a

?? Discriminant (D = b² - 4ac)

DiscriminantNature of Roots
D > 0Two distinct real roots
D = 0Two equal real roots
D < 0No real roots

?? Example

Solve: x² - 5x + 6 = 0
Factoring: (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0
x = 2 or x = 3 ?

Using formula: a=1, b=-5, c=6
D = 25 - 24 = 1 > 0 ? two roots
x = (5 ± 1)/2 = 3 or 2 ?
