Study Notes

Quadratic Equations

Definition: A polynomial equation of degree two.
Standard form: ( ax^2 + bx + c ), where ( a \neq 0 ).

Perfect Square Trinomial

A perfect square trinomial can be expressed as ( (x + p)^2 = x^2 + 2px + p^2 ).
To determine the constant term required for a trinomial to become a perfect square, take half of the coefficient of the linear term, square it, and add it.

Solving Quadratic Equations

The universal method for solving quadratic equations applicable to all types is the Quadratic Formula: [ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} ]
One alternative method includes Extracting Square Roots.

Factors and Roots

A quadratic equation can be factored into the form ( (px + q)(rx + s) ).
The roots (solutions) of the equation can be determined by setting the factored equation to zero.

Coefficients

In the quadratic equation ( 6x^2 + 7x - 3 ), the coefficients are:
- ( a = 6 ) (quadratic term)
- ( b = 7 ) (linear term)
- ( c = -3 ) (constant term)

General Questions

Any equation of the form ( ax^2 + bx + c ) where ( a \neq 0 ) is classified as a Quadratic Equation.
Finding the specific constant term to create a perfect square involves mathematical manipulation of coefficients.

Good Luck!

Prepare to apply these formulas and concepts when solving quadratic equations.
