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.
