Quadratic Equation

Standard Form

ax 2 + bx + c = 0
The value of variable x is called the root of the equation. A quadratic equation has got two roots.

b b 2 4ac x= 2a
Relation between Roots and Coefficients

ax 2 + bx + c = 0
Let =

b + b 2 4ac and b b 2 4ac , then = 2a 2a


(i ) + = (ii ) = c a b a

Note: If one root is m + n , then the other root will be m n . If a = c , then roots are reci rocal to each other. If b = 0 , then roots are equal in !agnitude but o osite in sign. b If c = 0 , then one root is 0 and other root will be . a b = 0 and c = 0 If , then both roots are 0. c If a + b + c = 0 , then one root is " and other root will be . a
