We start this module by accessing your knowledge of the different mathematics

concepts previously studied and your skills in performing mathematical operations.
These knowledge and skills will help you understand quadratic equations. As you
go through this lesson, think of this important question: " how are quadratic
equations used in solving real-life problems and in making decisions?" To find the
answer, you have to read and understand first some important notes about
quadratic equation.

THE QUADRATIC EQUATION DEFINED

If a linear equation is of the first degree, then the quadratic equation is of the
second degree. And this is the simplest characteristic that distinguishes one from
the other.
A linear equation is in the form ax + b = 0, where a and b are real numbers and a ≠
0. On the other hand, a quadratic equation takes the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where
a, b, and c are all real numbers and a ≠ 0. These equations are both in standard
form.

Illustrative Example
Determine which of these are quadratic equations.
1. C = 2πr 3. x + 3x = 0 5. x² - 2x + 1 = 0
2. 2x² - 5x + 1 = 0 4. 3x² - 5 = 0 6. A = πr²
Solution:
Equations 2, 4, 5, and 6 are quadratic equations.
A quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical sentence of degree
two that can be written in the following standard form, ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b,
and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0. In the equation, ax² is the quadratic term, bx is
the linear term, and c is the constant term.

Example 1: 3a² + 2a - 4 = 0 is a quadratic equation in the standard form with a =

3, b = 2 and c = -4.
Example 2: 4x (x - 3) = 5 is a quadratic equation. However, it is not written in
standard form. To write the equation in standard form, expand the product and
make one side of the equation zero as shown below
4x (x - 3) = 5 4x²- 12x = 5
4x²- 12x - 5 = 5 - 5
4x² - 12x – 5 = 0
The equation becomes 4x² - 12x – 5 = 0, which is in the standard form. In the
equation 4x² - 12x – 5 = 0, a = 4, b = -12 and c = -5

Example 3: The equation (2x + 5) (x - 1) = -6 is also a quadratic equation but it is

not written in standard form same with example 2. The equation (2x + 5) (x - 1) = -6
can be written in standard form by expanding the product in making one side of
the equation equal to zero as shown below
(2x + 5) (x - 1) = -6 2x²- 2x + 5x -5 = -6
2x² + 3x -5 = -6
2x² + 3x -5 + 6 = -6 + 6
2x² + 3x + 1 = 0
The equation becomes to 2x² + 3x + 1 = 0, which is in standard form. In the
equation 2x² + 3x + 1 = 0, a = 2, b = 3, and c = 1.
When b = 0, in the equation ax² + bx + c = 0, it results to a quadratic equation
of the form ax² + c = 0.
Examples: Equation such as x² + 5 = 0, 2x² + 7 = 0, and 16x² - 9 = 0 are
quadratic equations of the form ax² + c = 0. In each equation, the value of b = 0.
