Study Notes
Quadratic Equations Overview
- A polynomial equation of degree two is expressed as ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 ) where ( a \neq 0 ).
- Characteristics of quadratic equations include solutions known as roots, which can be real or complex.
Solving Quadratic Equations
- Extracting square roots is an efficient method to solve equations like ( 49x^2 = 64 ).
- Completing the square is another method but may require more steps compared to extracting square roots.
Key Concepts
- Solutions of a quadratic equation are referred to as roots or zeros.
- The relationship between the roots and coefficients can be summarized:
- The sum of the roots equals ( -\frac{b}{a} ).
- The product of the roots equals ( \frac{c}{a} ).
Finding Roots
- To find the other root of ( x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ) given one root is 3, use the factorization method or apply the quadratic formula. The other root is 4.
- If a quadratic equation is structured as ( (x - r_1)(x - r_2) = 0 ), roots ( r_1 ) and ( r_2 ) can be directly used to form the equation.
Identifying Roots from Equations
- Equations can yield values that satisfy them. For example, testing potential roots like -13, 13, and 2 in equations ( x^2 + 11x - 26 = 0 ) and ( x^2 + 15x + 26 = 0 ) helps identify valid solutions.
- Roots like -6 and 3 can derive the equation ( (x + 6)(x - 3) = 0 ).
Inequalities and Solution Sets
- Inequalities involving quadratic expressions, such as ( x^2 - 2x - 3 > 0 ), require finding critical points and testing intervals.
- The solution set of ( x^2 - 5x ≤ 0 ) may include combinations of values or intervals satisfying the inequality.
Transformations and Quadratics
- Certain contextual equations, such as ( 3x(x + 4) = 10 ), can be transformed into a quadratic form for easier solving.
- Proper inequality handling is crucial for determining valid solution sets and ranges.
Properties of Quadratic Functions
- The graph of a quadratic function, represented as a parabola, opens upwards if ( a > 0 ) and downwards if ( a < 0 ).
- The vertex, where the parabola turns, can provide minimum or maximum values.
Summary of Key Quadratic Equation Types
- Standard Form: ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 )
- Vertex Form: ( a(x-h)^2 + k ), where ( (h, k) ) is the vertex.
- Factored Form: ( a(x - r_1)(x - r_2) = 0 ), where ( r_1 ) and ( r_2 ) are the roots.
