Q & A

What is the general form of a quadratic equation?

The general form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0.

Why is it important that 'a' in a quadratic equation cannot be zero?

If 'a' is zero, the equation becomes linear rather than quadratic, meaning it no longer has the x² term.

In the equation 3x² + 8x + 4 = 0, what are the values of a, b, and c?

In this equation, a = 3, b = 8, and c = 4.

How can we identify the coefficients in a quadratic equation?

The coefficient a is the number in front of x², b is the coefficient of x, and c is the constant term that does not have a variable.

What happens if the quadratic equation is written as 2x² + 5x = 0?

This equation can be rewritten as 2x² + 5x + 0 = 0, which shows that a = 2, b = 5, and c = 0.

What do we conclude if a quadratic equation lacks a term for b?

If there is no b term, it means b = 0, and the equation is still a valid quadratic equation.

Can a quadratic equation use variables other than x?

Yes, a quadratic equation can use any variable, such as t or m, as long as it follows the same general form.

How do you determine the coefficients when they are expressed in terms of variables?

Identify the terms in the form ax² + bx + c, and assign values accordingly, treating variables as constants in that context.

What is an example of a quadratic equation with variable coefficients?

An example is mx² - (2m + 1)x + (m - 3) = 0, where a = m, b = - (2m + 1), and c = m - 3.

What is the next topic to be covered in the series after understanding the general form of quadratic equations?

The next topic will focus on determining the roots (or solutions) of quadratic equations.
