𝟒𝒙^𝟐 + 𝟔𝒙 + 2
What type of equation is this?
Quadratic Equation
𝒂𝒙^𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 +𝒄 = 0
What do you call the descending order of term according to its degree?
Standard Form
If 𝑥^2 = 𝑎 and 𝑎 ≥ 0, then 𝑥 = ±√𝑎.
SQUARE ROOT PROPERTY
STEPS in Solving by SQUARE ROOT PROPERTY
- ISOLATE the squared variable or expression using properties of equality.
- USE the Square Root Property by getting the square root of both sides.
- SIMPLIFY if possible.
If the first and last terms are perfect squares and the middle term is twice the product of
the roots of the first and last terms.
Example: 𝑥^2 + 12𝑥 + 36
perfect square trinomial
If ab = 0, then a = 0 and b = 0
ZERO PRODUCT PROPERTY
FACTORING (ZERO PRODUCT PROPERTY) STEPS
- WRITE the equation in standard form (𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥+c=0).
- FACTOR OUT the left side of the equation. (GCF, PST, NPST)
- EQUATE each factor to zero using the Zero Property.
- SOLVE for the variable of each equation.
STEPS in Solving by QUADRATIC FORMULA
- WRITE the quadratic equation in standard form
- IDENTIFY the values of the coefficients a, b and c.
- SUBSTITUTE the values to the quadratic formula.
- SIMPLIFY the result.
These are unreal numbers, denoted by i, which the value does not
exist. Such numbers are the square root of negative numbers.
𝑖 = √−1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖^2 = −1
Imaginary numbers
