1 QUADRATIC EQUATION & EXPRESSIONS Qudrtic Eqution An eqution of the form x + bx + c 0, where 0 nd, b, c re rel numbers, is clled qudrtic eqution. The numbers, b, c re clled the coefficients of the qudrtic eqution. A root of the qudrtic eqution is number α (rel or complex) such tht α + bα + c 0. The roots of the qudrtic eqution re given by x Bsic Results: b± b 4c The quntity D (Db 4c) is known s the discriminnt of the qudrtic eqution. The qudrtic eqution hs rel nd equl roots if nd only if D 0 i.e. b 4c 0. The qudrtic eqution hs rel nd distinct roots if nd only if D > 0 i.e. b 4c > 0. The qudrtic eqution hs complex roots with non zero imginry prts if nd only if D < 0 i.e. b 4c < 0. Let α nd β be two roots of the given qudrtic eqution. Then α + β b/ nd αβ c/. If α nd β re the roots of n eqution, then the eqution is x (α + β) x + αβ 0. In qudrtic eqution x + bx + c 0 if + b + c 0, then x 1 is one of the root of the eqution. If the qudrtic eqution x + bx + c 0 is stisfied by more thn two numbers (rel or imginry) then it becomes n identity i.e., b c 0 x + 1 x Illustrtion 1: Solve + (x 1, - ). x 1 x +. x+ 1 x + x 1 x+ x + 1 x + 0 x 1 x+ x+ 1 x+ + x 1 x x 1 x+ x 1 x+ ( )( ) ( )( ) ( )( ) ( )( ) 0 (x + 1) (x + ) + (x 1) (x ) (x 1) (x + ) 0 x + x + + x x + (x + x ) 0 x x (x + x 10) 0 x + x 10 0 (x + 5) (x ) 0 x 5, or x. x 5, re the solutions of the given eqution. Illustrtion : Find if the roots of the eqution ( + b c) x + ( + c b) x + (b + c ) 0 re rel or complex, where, b, c R. Since ( + b c) + ( + c b) + (b + c ) 0 x 1 is one of the root.
