How to Study Quadratic and Other Equation

A structured approach to studying Quadratic and Other Equation for CMAT Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation.

Study Plan for Quadratic and Other Equation

1

Day 1–2: Learn the Theory

Study the chapter thoroughly. Note down definitions, formulas, and key concepts.

2

3

Day 4: Revise & Test

Revise key formulas and concepts without looking at notes. Take a practice quiz to test your understanding.

What to Focus On

  • An equation is an expression in the form f(x) = 0
  • The root or solution of an equation is the value that satisfies the equation
  • Equations are classified by the highest power of the variable

  • Standard form: ax + b = 0 where a ≠ 0
  • Has exactly one solution: x = -b/a
  • Graph is a straight line

  • Standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0 where a ≠ 0
  • Discriminant D = b² - 4ac determines nature of roots
  • Can have 2 real distinct, 2 real equal, or 2 complex roots

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The discriminant D = b² - 4ac tells us the exact values of the roots

If the discriminant is negative, the equation has no solution

Sum of roots = -b and Product of roots = c in ax² + bx + c = 0
