Formulas and Key Relations
1. Basic Idea and Standard Form
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
X = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
2. Roots, Factorisation, and Zero Product Property
If p(a) = 0, then (x - a) is a factor of p(x)
If product of two numbers is zero, then at least one of them is zero
x² - (α + β)x + αβ = 0
3. Completing the Square and Quadratic Formula
x² + (b/a)x + (b/2a)² - (b/2a)² + c/a = 0 → (x + b/2a)² - (b² - 4ac)/4a² = 0
α = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a, β = (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
4. Nature of Roots and Discriminant
Δ = b² - 4ac
If Δ = 0, roots are real and equal
If Δ > 0, roots are real and unequal
If Δ < 0, roots are not real
Quadratic Equation: Basic Idea and Standard Form
The general form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
Roots of a Quadratic Equation and Factorisation Method
If p(a) = 0 for a polynomial p(x), then (x - a) is a factor of p(x) and a is a root or solution of p(x) = 0.
Completing the Square Method
For x^2 + 10x + 2 = 0, complete the square by writing x^2 + 10x + 25 - 25 + 2 = 0.
