Quadratic Equation:
A second-degree polynomial equation is called quadratic equation.
Standard Form:
A quadratic equation is an equation that can be written in the form of ax2 bx c 0 , where a, b
and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
How to Solve a Quadratic Equation? Remember that:
The graph of a quadratic function
There are three basic techniques to solve a quadratic equation: represents a parabola opening
(i) By factorization either upwards or downwards
(ii) By completing squares, extracting square roots.
b b2 4ac
(iii) By applying the quadratic formula i.e. x
2a
Types of Equations Reducible to the Quadratic Equation:
There are certain types of equations, which do not look to be of degree 2, but they can be
reduced to the quadratic equation. Some of those forms are given below:
ax 2 n bx n c 0, a 0
Type I
Put x n y and get the given equation reduced to quadratic equation in y.
Type II
x a x b x c x d k
Where a b c d
Equations in which the variable occurs in exponent are called exponential
Type III
equations. 22 x 3.2x2 32 0 is an example of exponential equation.

An equation, which remains unchanged when x is replaced by is called a
x
Type IV reciprocal equation. In such an equation the coefficients of the terms
equidistant from the beginning and end are equal in magnitude.
ax4 bx3 cx2 bx a 0 is an example of reciprocal equation.
Equations involving radical expression of the variable are called radical
Type V equations. Following are some of the types of radical equations.
