What is a quadratic equation?
What is a quadratic equation?
A quadratic equation is an equation where the highest power of the variable is 2. It can be written in the standard form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠0.
How do I solve a quadratic equation by factoring?
How do I solve a quadratic equation by factoring?
To solve a quadratic equation by factoring, we try to express the quadratic expression as a product of two linear factors. Then, we set each factor equal to zero and solve for the variable.
What is a square root?
What is a square root?
The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, equals the original number. For example, the square root of 9 is 3, because 3 * 3 = 9.

Study Notes
Multiple Choice Questions - Mathematics 9
- Quadratic Equations: Questions focus on solving quadratic equations through various methods, including factoring, extracting square roots, and completing the square.
Identifying Quadratic Equations
- Quadratic Equation Definition: A quadratic equation is an equation of the second degree, typically written in the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠0.
Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
- Factoring Method: Students need to factor quadratic expressions and set each factor equal to zero to find the solutions (roots).
Solving Quadratic Equations Using Square Roots
- Extracting Square Roots: Quadratic equations in the form x² = c can be solved by taking the square root of both sides, resulting in x = ±√c.
Completing the Square
- Completing the Square Method: This method involves transforming a quadratic equation into a perfect square trinomial to solve for the variable. A key step is to add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation.
Quadratic Formula
- Quadratic Formula: The quadratic formula, x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a, provides a general method to solve any quadratic equation.
Identifying the Correct Equation Form
- Standard Quadratic Form: Recognizing a quadratic equation written in the standard form ax² + bx + c = 0.
Recognizing a Solution Set
- Solution set: Determining if provided coordinates or points satisfy the solution set of a given inequality involving x³ and y³.
Finding area of a circle.
- Area of a Circle: The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr², where r is the radius of the circle. Given a diameter of 14 inches, the radius is half of that.
Recognizing Whole Number Square Roots
- Identifying Perfect Squares: Students must identify numbers whose square roots are whole numbers, highlighting that numbers like √15 are not perfect squares.
Quadratic Equations with no real roots
- Discriminant: The discriminant (b² - 4ac) helps determine the type of roots a quadratic equation has. A negative discriminant indicates no real roots.
Determining if a quadratic equation has no real roots.
- Quadratic Formula and Discriminate: The discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) is a useful tool in determining the nature of the roots (real versus imaginary). If discriminant is less than 0, then no real roots exist.
