Study Notes
Quadratic Equations
- A quadratic equation is an equation containing the square of the unknown variable, but no higher power.
- Standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
- Quadratic equations can be solved using:
- Factorization
- Completing the square
- Quadratic formula
Solving by Factorization
- Express the equation in standard form.
- Find two numbers that add up to 'b' and multiply to 'ac'.
- Factorize the equation using these numbers.
- Set each factor equal to zero and solve for 'x'.
Solving by Completing the Square
- Express the equation in the form x² + bx = c.
- Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation.
- Factor the left side as a perfect square.
- Solve for 'x' using square roots.
Solving using the Quadratic Formula
- Use the formula x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a to find the solutions.
Equations Reducible to Quadratic Form
- Some equations, though not initially quadratic, can be transformed into quadratic form using suitable variable substitutions.
- Type (i): ax⁴ + bx² + c = 0
- Let y = x².
- Type (ii): Equations with variables in exponents
- Example: a p(x) + b p(x)/x + c = 0
- Suitable substitution is necessary.
- Example: 2(2x - 1) + 3/(2x - 1) = 5
- Let y = (2x - 1)
- Type (iii): Reciprocal Equations.
- The equation remains unchanged when x is replaced by 1/x.
- Example: 2x⁴ - 5x³ - 14x² - 5x + 2 = 0
- Type (iv): Exponential equations.
- Variables occur in the exponent, substitution will be necessary.
- Example: 5¹⁺ˣ + 5¹⁻ˣ = 26
- Let 5ˣ = y
- Type (v): Equations of the form (x + a)(x + b)(x + c)(x + d) = k , where a + b = c + d
- Example: (x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 8)(x + 5) = 19
- Let y= (x-1)(x+8), find the solution for y.
- Type (i): ax⁴ + bx² + c = 0
Radical Equations
- Equations containing an expression under a radical (such as a square root).
- Type (i): √(ax + b) = cx + d
- Type (ii): √(x + a) + √(x + b) = √(x + c)
- Solve for the variable. Be aware of extraneous solutions, obtained by squaring. These solutions do not actually satisfy the original equation.
Other Important Terms
- Roots: The values of 'x' that satisfy the equation.
- Solution Set: The collection of all roots.
- Pure quadratic equation: An equation where b = 0 (e.g., x² - 16 = 0)
