22 MFP Tetbook A-level Further Mathematics 660 Itroductio You should have already met the idea of a polyomial equatio A polyomial equatio of degree, oe with as the highest power of, is called a quadratic equatio Similarly, a polyomial equatio of degree has as the highest power of ad is called a cubic equatio; oe with 4 as the highest power of is called a quartic equatio I this chapter you are goig to study the properties of the roots of these equatios ad ivestigate methods of solvig them Quadratic equatios You should be familiar with quadratic equatios ad their properties from your earlier studies of pure mathematics However, eve if this sectio is familiar to you it provides a suitable base from which to move o to equatios of higher degree You will kow, for eample, that quadratic equatios of the type you have met have two roots (which may be coicidet) There are ormally two ways of solvig a quadratic equatio by factorizig ad, i cases where this is impossible, by the quadratic formula Graphically, the roots of the equatio a b c 0 are the poits of itersectio of the curve y a b c ad the lie y 0 (ie the -ais) For eample, a sketch of part of y 8 is show below y ( 4, 0) (, 0) (0, 8) The roots of this quadratic equatio are those of ( )( 4) 0, which are ad 4
