Concept

An equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a > 0 and a, b, c are real


numbers, is called a quadratic equation.
The numbers a, b, c are called the coefficients of the quadratic equation.
A root of the quadratic equation is a number a (real or complex) such that aa2 +
ba + c = 0
Concept

To solve a quadratic equation you can use two methods:


1. Using a standard formula
2. Factorization method
1. Using a Standard Formula
Any quadratic equation can be solved easily and quickly by using this method. If
the quadratic equation is of the type ax² + bx + c = 0, then the solution will be
x = -b ± √(b² -4ac)/2a.
2. Factorization Method
In factorization, you need to find the factors of the given terms.
For example, factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8 Similarly factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4,
6, and 12. Thus you can use this method only when the terms given to you can
be factorized. This method is usually quicker than the other method.
The other basic concepts you need to remember while solving quadratic
equations are:
1. Nature of roots
2. Sum and product of the roots
3. Forming a quadratic equation
Concept

If the product of roots of the equation x2 – 3(2a + 4)x + a2 + 18a + 81 = 0 isunity,


then a can take the values as
Explanation:
The product of the roots is given by:
(a2 + 18a + 81)/ 1.
Since product is unity we get: a2 + 18a + 81 = 1
Thus, a2 + 18a + 80 = 0
Solving, we get: a = –10 and a = – 8.
