Quadratic equation
An equation which contains the square of an unknown variable quantity but no higher power is called or an equation of the second degree
Ax²+bx+c=0
Solution
Factorization
Completing square
Quadratic formula
Reciprocal equation
An equation is said to be a reciprocal equation if it remains unchanged when X is replaced by1/x
Exponential equation
In exponential equation variable occurs in exponent
Radical
An equation involving expression under the radical sign
Ratio
A relation between two quantities of the same kind
Proportion
A proportion is a statement which is expressed as an equivalence of two ratios
Variation direct
If two quantities are related in such a way that increase and decrease in one quantity causes increase or decreases in another quantity
Inverse
When one quantity increases the other decreases or if one quantity decreases the other increases
Third proportion
If quantities are related as a:b=b:c
Then c is called third proportion
Fourth
A:b=c:d then d is fourth proportion
Invertendo
a:b=c:d then b:a=d:c
Alternando
a:c=b:d
Componendo,dividendo
a+b:b=c+d:d
a-b:b=c-d:d
Joint variation
A combination of direct and inverse variations of more than one variable forms joint..
