Study Notes

Quadratic Equations Overview

Quadratic equations are polynomial equations of the form ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 ), where ( a ), ( b ), and ( c ) are constants and ( a \neq 0 ).
If ( a = 0 ), the equation becomes a linear equation, losing its quadratic nature.

Solutions of Quadratic Equations

Solutions of a quadratic equation are referred to as roots or solutions.
Typically, a quadratic equation can have zero, one, or two solutions.

Types of Solutions

Two distinct real solutions occur when the discriminant (( b^2 - 4ac )) is positive.
One real solution occurs when the discriminant is zero, indicating a perfect square.
No real solutions occur when the discriminant is negative, leading to complex solutions.

Characteristics of Solutions

If a quadratic equation has only one solution, it indicates that the graph touches the x-axis at a single point (vertex), known as a double root.

Quadratic Equations Classification

An equation must have the highest degree of 2 to be classified as a quadratic equation.
Equations featuring variables raised to powers greater than 2, or with variable degrees of 1, do not qualify as quadratic equations.
