A quadratic equation is an equation of the form
where a, b, and c are constants, a ≠ 0.
SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
To solve quadratic equations we have the following
methods to choose from: factorise the quadratic and use the rule: If ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0. complete the square use the quadratic formula use technology. SOLVING BY FACTORISATION Step 1: If necessary, rearrange the equation so one side is zero. Step 2: Fully factorise the other side. Step 3: Apply the rule: If ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0. Step 4: Solve the resulting linear equations. Examples: SOLVING BY FACTORISATION
Caution: 1. Do not be tempted to divide both sides by an expression involving x. If you do this then you may lose one of the solutions. SOLVING BY FACTORISATION
2. Be careful when taking square roots of both sides of an
equation. You may otherwise lose solutions. For example: SOLVING BY ‘COMPLETING THE SQUARE’
As you would be aware by now, not all quadratics factorise easily. For example,
cannot be factorised by simple factorisation. In other words, we cannot
write
in the form (x-a)(x-b) where a, b are rational.
An alternative way to solve equations is by ‘completing the square’. Equations of the form
can be converted to the form from which the solutions are easy to obtain. SOLVING BY ‘COMPLETING THE SQUARE’
Note: The squared number we add to both sides is the half of coefficient of x squared. THE QUADRATIC FORMULA THE QUADRATIC FORMULA Examples: QUADRATIC INEQUALITIES Sometimes we have a statement that one expression is greater than, or else greater than or equal to, another. We call this an inequality. To solve quadratic inequalities we use these steps: a. Make the RHS zero by shifting all terms to the LHS. b. Fully factorise the LHS. c. Draw a sign diagram for the LHS. d. Determine the values required from the sign diagram. Example: The discriminant of a quadratic The discriminant In the quadratic formula, Quadratic functions Quadratic functions Quadratic functions Example THE DISCRIMINANT AND THE QUADRATIC GRAPH Finding a quadratic from its graph Where functions meet Problem solving with quadratics
