Key Topics to Revise

1

Definition and Standard Form

  • A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of degree 2 in one variable
  • Standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0 and a, b, c are real constants
  • Any equation that can be reduced to this form is a quadratic equation
2

Methods of Solving Quadratic Equations

  • Two main algebraic methods: Factorization and Quadratic Formula
  • Factorization works when the equation can be expressed as a product of linear factors
  • Quadratic formula works for all quadratic equations
3

Discriminant and Nature of Roots

  • Discriminant D = b² - 4ac determines the nature of roots without solving
  • D > 0: Two real and distinct roots
  • D = 0: Two real and equal roots (coincident roots)
4

Word Problems and Applications

  • Real-world problems often lead to quadratic equations
  • Common scenarios: area problems, number problems, motion problems
  • Always define variables clearly at the start
