Quadratic Equations
Quadratic equations have the form ax² + bx + c = 0.
Methods
- Factorising
- Quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
- Completing the square
Example
Solve: x² - 5x + 6 = 0
Factorising: (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0
So x = 2 or x = 3
Solving ax² + bx + c = 0
Quadratic equations have the form ax² + bx + c = 0.
Solve: x² - 5x + 6 = 0
Factorising: (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0
So x = 2 or x = 3
