Study Notes

Algebra

Quadratic equations take the general form ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 ), with real numbers ( a, b, c ) and ( a \neq 0 ).
Quadratics are also known as second-degree polynomial equations.
Common methods for solving quadratic equations include factoring, extracting square roots, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula.

Factoring Quadratic Equations

Example equation: ( 2x^2 + 9x + 7 = 3 )
- Rearranged to ( 2x^2 + 9x + 4 = 0 )
- Factor: ( (2x + 1)(x + 4) = 0 )
- Solutions: ( x = -\frac{1}{2}, x = -4 ).
Example equation: ( 6x^2 - 3x = 0 )
- Factored to ( 3x(2x - 1) = 0 )
- Solutions: ( x = 0, x = \frac{1}{2} ).

Extracting Square Roots

Example: ( 4x^2 = 12 )
- Result: ( x^2 = 3 ) leads to ( x = \pm\sqrt{3} ).
Example: ( (x - 3)^2 = 7 )
- Result: ( x - 3 = \pm\sqrt{7} ), leading to ( x = 3 \pm \sqrt{7} ).

Completing the Square

For ( x^2 + 2x - 6 = 0 ):
- Rearranged to ( (x + 1)^2 = 7 )
- Check by substituting back into the original equation.
For ( 2x^2 + 8x + 3 = 0 ):
- Rearranged to complete the square, leading to potential solutions that can be verified by substitution.

Quadratic Formula

The formula is derived from completing the square:
- For ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 ), solutions are given by [ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} ].
Example usage: For ( x^2 + 3x - 9 = 0 ):
- Calculate using: [ x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4(1)(-9)}}{2(1)} ],
- Yielding solutions through simplification.
