ASSIGNMENT ON QUADRATIC EQUATION
An equation of the form 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 = 𝟎 is called Quadratic Equation in variable x, where
𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐 are real numbers and 𝑎 ≠ 0.
The form 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0 is called the Standard Form of a quadratic equation.
By Quadratic Formula , the roots of the quadratic equation 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0, a ≠ 0 are given
by
Discriminant (d) = 𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒𝒂𝒄
