Study Notes

Finding Roots by Factorisation

Factorisation is a method used to solve quadratic equations.
To factorise a quadratic equation, split the middle term into two terms whose product equals the product of the first and last terms.
Once factorised, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.
The found values of x are the roots of the quadratic equation.

Quadratic Equations: Definition and Standard Form

A quadratic equation in the variable x is of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers, and a ≠ 0.
This form is referred to as the standard form.
Any equation of the form p(x) = 0, where p(x) is a polynomial of degree 2, can be represented as a quadratic equation.

Discriminant and Nature of Roots

The discriminant of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 is given by b² - 4ac.
The discriminant determines the nature of the roots:
- b² - 4ac > 0: Two distinct real roots.
- b² - 4ac = 0: Two equal real roots (coincident roots).
- b² - 4ac < 0: No real roots.

Quadratic Formula

The quadratic formula is used to solve quadratic equations and provides the roots of the equation ax² + bx + c = 0.
The formula is: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a, where b² - 4ac ≥ 0.

Real-World Applications of Quadratic Equations

Quadratic equations can be applied to various real-life situations involving area, distance, or other quantities represented as quadratic expressions.
Examples include:
- Finding the dimensions of a rectangular garden given its area and length-to-breadth ratio.
- Determining the distance of a pole from a gate in a park using Pythagoras theorem.
- Calculating the age of two friends given the sum and product of their ages at a prior time.
