1 QUADRATIC EQUATIONS Definition ax 2 + bx + c = 0 a, b, c are constants (generally integers) Roots Synonyms: Solutions or Zeros Can have 0, 1, or 2 real roots Consider the graph of quadratic equations. The quadratic equation looks like ax 2 + bx + c = 0, but if we take the quadratic expression on the left and set it equal to y, we will have a function: y = ax 2 + bx + c When we graph y vs. x, we find that we get a curve called a parabola. The specific values of a, b, and c control where the curve is relative to the origin (left, right, up, or down), and how rapidly it spreads out. Also, if a is negative then the parabola will be upside-down. What does this have to do with finding the solutions to our original quadratic equation? Well, whenever y = 0 then the equation y = ax 2 + bx + c is the same as our original equation. Graphically, y is zero whenever the curve crosses the x-axis. Thus, the solutions to the original quadratic equation (ax 2 + bx + c = 0) are the values of x where the function (y = ax 2 + bx + c) crosses the x-axis. From the figures below, you can see that it can cross the x-axis once, twice, or not at all. Actually, if you have a graphing calculator this technique can be used to find solutions to any equation, not just quadratics. All you need to do is 1. Move all the terms to one side, so that it is equal to zero 2. Set the resulting expression equal to y (in place of zero) 3. Enter the function into your calculator and graph it 4. Look for places where the graph crosses the x-axis Your graphing calculator most likely has a function that will automatically find these intercepts and give you the x-values with great precision. Of course, no matter how many decimal places you have it is still just an approximation of the exact solution. In real life, though, a close approximation is often good enough. 1
2 SOLVING BY FACTORING Solving a quadratic (or any kind of equation) by factoring it makes use of a principle known as the zero- product rule. Zero Product Rule If ab = 0 then either a = 0 or b = 0 (or both). In other words, if the product of two things is zero then one of those two things must be zero, because the only way to multiply something and get zero is to multiply it by zero. Thus, if you can factor an expression that is equal to zero, then you can set each factor equal to zero and solve it for the unknown. The expression must be set equal to zero to use this principle You can always make any equation equal to zero by moving all the terms to one side. Example: Given: x 2 x = 6 Move all terms to one side: x 2 x 6 = 0 Factor: (x 3)(x + 2) = 0 Set each factor equal to zero and solve: (x 3) = 0 OR (x + 2) = 0 Solutions: x = 3 OR x = 2 No Constant Term If a quadratic equation has no constant term (i.e. c = 0) then it can easily be solved by factoring out the common x from the remaining two terms: Then, using the zero-product rule, you set each factor equal to zero and solve to get the two solutions: x = 0 or ax + b = 0 x = 0 or x = b/a WARNING: Do not divide out the common factor of x or you will lose the x = 0 solution. Keep all the factors and use the zero- product rule to get the solutions. Trinomials When a quadratic has all three terms, you can still solve it with the zero-product rule if you are able to factor the trinomial. Remember, not all trinomial quadratics can be factored with integer constants If it can be factored, then it can be written as a product of two binomials. The zero-product rule can then be used to set each of these factors equal to zero, resulting in two equations that are both simple linear equations that can be solved for x. See the above example for the zero-product rule to see how this works. A more thorough discussion of factoring trinomials may be found in the chapter on polynomials, but here is a quick review: 2
3 SOLVING BY FACTORING CONTINUED Tips for Factoring Trinomials 1. Clear fractions (by multiplying through by the common denominator) 2. Remove common factors if possible 3. If the coefficient of the x 2 term is 1, then x 2 + bx + c = (x + n)(x + m), where n and m i. Multiply to give c ii. Add to give b 4. If the coefficient of the x 2 term is not 1, then use either a. Guess- and Check i. List the factors of the coefficient of the x 2 term ii. List the factors of the constant term iii. Test all the possible binomials you can make from these factors b. Factoring by Grouping i. Find the product ac ii. Find two factors of ac that add to give b iii. Split the middle term into the sum of two terms, using these two factors iv. Group the terms into pairs v. Factor out the common binomial 3
4 COMPLETING THE SQUARE The technique of completing the square is presented here primarily to justify the quadratic formula, which will be presented next. However, the technique does have applications besides being used to derive the quadratic formula. In analytic geometry, for example, completing the square is used to put the equations of conic sections into standard form. Before considering the technique of completing the square, we must define a perfect square trinomial. Perfect Square Trinomial What happens when you square a binomial? Note that the coefficient of the middle term (2a) is twice the square root of the constant term (a 2 ) Thus the constant term is the square of half the coefficient of x Important: These observations only hold true if the coefficient of x is 1. This means that any trinomial that satisfies this condition is a perfect square. For example, x 2 + 8x + 16 is a perfect square, because half the coefficient of x (which in this case is 4) happens to be the square root of the constant term (16). That means that x 2 + 8x + 16 = (x + 4) 2 Multiply out the binomial (x + 4) times itself and you will see that this works. The technique of completing the square is to take a trinomial that is not a perfect square, and make it into one by inserting the correct constant term (which is the square of half the coefficient of x). Of course, inserting a new constant term has to be done in an algebraically legal manner, which means that the same thing needs to be done to both sides of the equation. This is best demonstrated with an example. Example: Given Equation: Move original constant to other side: Add new constant to both sides (the square of half the coefficient of x): Write left side as perfect square: Square root both sides (remember to use plus-or-minus): Solve for x: Notes Finds all real roots. Factoring can only find integer or rational roots. When you write it as a binomial squared, the constant in the binomial will be half of the coefficient of x. 4
5 COMPLETING THE SQUARE CONTINUED If the Coefficient of x 2 is Not 1 First divide through by the coefficient, then proceed with completing the square. Example: Given Equation: Divide through by coefficient of x 2 : (in this case a 2) Move constant to other side: Add new constant term: (the square of half the coefficient of x, in this case 9/16): Write as a binomial squared: (the constant in the binomial is half the coefficient of x) Square root both sides: (remember to use plus-or-minus) Solve for x: Thus x = ½ or x = 2 5
6 THE QUADRATIC FORMULA The solutions to a quadratic equation can be found directly from the quadratic formula. The equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0 has solutions The advantage of using the formula is that it always works. The disadvantage is that it can be more time-consuming than some of the methods previously discussed. As a general rule you should look at a quadratic and see if it can be solved by taking square roots; if not, then if it can be easily factored; and finally use the quadratic formula if there is no easier way. Notice the plus-or-minus symbol (±) in the formula. This is how you get the two different solutions one using the plus sign, and one with the minus. Make sure the equation is written in standard form before reading off a, b, and c. Most importantly, make sure the quadratic expression is equal to zero. The Discriminant The formula requires you to take the square root of the expression b 2 4ac, which is called the discriminant because it determines the nature of the solutions. For example, you can t take the square root of a negative number, so if the discriminant is negative then there are no solutions. If b 2 4ac > 0 There are two distinct real roots If b 2 4ac = 0 There is one real root If b 2 4ac < 0 There are no real roots 6
7 THE QUADRATIC FORMULA CONTINUED Deriving the Quadratic Formula The quadratic formula can be derived by using the technique of completing the square on the general quadratic formula: Given: Divide through by a: Move the constant term to the right side: Add the square of one-half the coefficient of x to both sides: Factor the left side (which is now a perfect square), and rearrange the right side: Get the right side over a common denominator: Take the square root of both sides (remembering to use plus-or-minus): Solve for x: 7

x n = 1 x n In other words, taking a negative expoenent is the same is taking the reciprocal of the positive expoenent.
Rules of Exponents: If n > 0, m > 0 are positive integers and x, y are any real numbers, then: x m x n = x m+n x m x n = xm n, if m n (x m ) n = x mn (xy) n = x n y n ( x y ) n = xn y n 1 Can we make sense
