Quadratic Equations

Solving ax² + bx + c = 0

Quadratic Equations

Quadratic equations have the form ax² + bx + c = 0.

Methods

  1. Factorising
  2. Quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
  3. Completing the square

Example

Solve: x² - 5x + 6 = 0

Factorising: (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0
So x = 2 or x = 3
