Quadratic Formula
• What is Quadratic Formula ?
Quadratic Formula is a tool to find roots of any Quadratic equation instead of Middle term splitting method, Quadratic Formula can also be used to evaluate roots.
hence Quadratic Formula states as -
D = (b² - 4ac)
• following three conditions can be expected from Solution of D i.e.
• From this test we can guess out what kind of roots any given Quadratic equation posses without evaluating.
• Standard form of Quadratic equation is :
ax² + bx + c hence Quadratic Formula states as -
- x = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a
• Discriminant:
Numerator part of this formula ( except "-b" ) known as discriminant, and gives a very useful information about nature of roots and denoted by "D" :D = (b² - 4ac)
• following three conditions can be expected from Solution of D i.e.
- if, D > 0 then : existed roots are real but distinct
- if, D = 0 then : existed roots are real and equal
- if, D < 0 then : roots doesn't exist or imaginary
• From this test we can guess out what kind of roots any given Quadratic equation posses without evaluating.
• Example :
Q. 2x² + 3x - 5
sol. by comparing from standard form of equation we have
a= 2 ; b= 3 ; c = -5
Test : with Discriminant
D = b² - 4ac
= 3² - 4× 2×(-5)
= 9 - (-40)
= 9 +40 = 49 >0
means equation has real and distinct roots.
now by applying Quadratic Formula:
x = [ -3 ± (49)] / 2× 2
= [ -3 ± 49 ] /4
by +value :
x = [-3 + 49] /4
= 46/4
by - value :
x = [ -3 - 49]/ 4
= -52/4.
