Maths Class 10 Notes for Quadratic Equations


QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

The polynomial of degree two is called quadratic polynomial and equation corresponding to a
quadratic polynomial P(x) is called a quadratic equation in variable x.

Thus, P(x) = ax2 + bx + c =0, a 0, a, b, c R is known as the standard form of quadratic


equation.

There are two types of quadratic equation.


(i) Complete quadratic equation : The equation ax2 + bx + c 0 where a 0, b 0,c 0
(ii) Pure quadratic equation : An equation in the form of ax2 = 0, a 0, b = 0, c = 0

ZERO OF A QUADRATIC POLYNOMIAL

The value of x for which the polynomial becomes zero is called zero of a polynomial

For instance,

1 is zero of the polynomial x2 2x + 1 because it become zero at x = 1.

SOLUTION OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION BY

FACTORISATION

A real number x is called a root of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c =0, a 0 if a2 + b + c


=0.In this case, we say x = is a solution of the quadratic equation.

NOTE:

1. The zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c and the roots of the quadratic equation
ax2 + bx + c = 0 are the same.
2. Roots of quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c =0 can be found by factorizing it into two linear
factors and equating each factor to zero.

SOLUTION OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION BY COMPLETING THE SQUARE

By adding and subtracting a suitable constant, we club the x 2 and x terms in the quadratic
equation so that they become complete square, and solve for x.

In fact, we can convert any quadratic equation to the form (x + a)2 b2 = 0 and then we can
easily find its roots.

The expression b2 4ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation.

SOLUTION OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION BY DISCRIMINANT METHOD

Let quadratic equation is ax2 + bx + c = 0

Step 1. Find D = b2 4ac.

Step 2.

(i) If D > 0, roots are given by

x = -b + D / 2a , -b D / 2a

(ii) If D = 0 equation has equal roots and root is given by x = -b / 2a.

(iii) If D < 0, equation has no real roots.

ROOTS OF THE QUADRATIC EQUATION

Let the quadratic equation be ax2 + bx + c = 0 (a 0).

Thus, if b2 4ac 0, then the roots of the quadratic

b b2 4ac / 2a equation are given by

QUADRATIC FORMULA

b b2 4ac / 2a is known as the quadratic formula

which is useful for finding the roots of a quadratic equation.

NATURE OF ROOTS

(i) If b2 4ac > 0, then the roots are real and distinct.

(ii) If b2 4ac = 0, the roots are real and equal or coincident.

(iii) If b2 4ac <0, the roots are not real (imaginary roots)

FORMATION OF QUADRATIC EQUATION WHEN TWO ROOTS ARE GIVEN

If and are two roots of equation then the required quadratic equation can be formed as x 2
( + )x + =0

Let and be two roots of the quadratic equation (ax2 + bx + c = 0 then

Sum of Roots: the coefficient of x / the coefficient t of x2 + = b / a

Product of Roots :

= constant term / the coefficient t of x2 = c / a

METHOD OF SOLVING WORD PROBLEMS

Step 1: Translating the word problem into Mathematics form (symbolic form) according to the
given condition

Step 2 : Form the word problem into Quadratic equations and solve them.
