Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Basic ideas and identification, 2. Finding and verifying roots, 3. Solving quadratic equations by factorisation.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 38 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Quadratic Equations after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Linear polynomial: first degree
  • Quadratic polynomial: second degree
  • Quadratic equation: ax^2+bx+c=0, a not equal to zero
  • A root is a value that makes the equation true
  • Verification is done by substitution
  • A quadratic equation cannot have more than two roots
  • Factorisation converts a quadratic into linear factors
  • Zero product rule is the key step
  • Each factor is set equal to zero

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any equation with x squared is automatically quadratic, even if a = 0 in ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

A root is found just by looking at the equation; substitution is not needed.

A quadratic equation can have three or more roots if factorisation gives more than two pieces.
