Quadratic equations quiz

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔍 A quadratic equation is an equation of the form $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$, where $a \neq 0$.
• 💡 The solutions to a quadratic equation are also called roots or zeros.
• 📝 The quadratic formula is used to find the roots: $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$.
• 📈 The discriminant, $b^2 - 4ac$, determines the nature of the roots:
  • If $b^2 - 4ac > 0$, there are two distinct real roots.
  • If $b^2 - 4ac = 0$, there is one real root (a repeated root).
  • If $b^2 - 4ac < 0$, there are two complex roots.
• ➕ Factoring is a method to solve quadratic equations by expressing the quadratic as a product of two linear factors.
• 📊 Completing the square is another method to solve quadratic equations by transforming the equation into the form $(x + p)^2 = q$.
