Quadratic Equation [3:40]
A quadratic equation is defined as a polynomial equation of degree two, expressed in the general form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0. The video illustrates this with examples, clarifying that the highest power of the variable must be two. It also explains that while a quadratic equation must have an x² term, it may or may not have an x term or a constant term. The coefficients a, b, and c are identified, with a being the coefficient of x², b being the coefficient of x, and c being the constant term (or the coefficient of x⁰). The condition a ≠ 0 is crucial because if a = 0, the equation becomes linear.
Roots Of Quadratic Equation [9:38]
The "roots" of a quadratic equation are the values of the variable (typically x) that satisfy the equation, making the left-hand side (LHS) equal to the right-hand side (RHS). These roots are also known as the solutions of the quadratic equation. A quadratic equation has exactly two roots, which may be real or imaginary. The video demonstrates how to verify if a given value is a root by substituting it into the equation and checking if it satisfies the equation. It also explains how to find the value of an unknown constant in the equation if one of the roots is given.
Solution Of A Quadratic Equation By Factorization Method [30:42]
The factorization method, particularly the middle term splitting method, is a technique to find the roots of a quadratic equation. This method involves expressing the quadratic equation in its general form and then splitting the middle term (bx) into two terms such that their product equals the product of the first and last terms (ac), and their sum equals b. The video provides a step-by-step explanation of how to apply this method, including finding the appropriate numbers by prime factorizing the product ac. Several examples are provided, including equations with square roots and more complex coefficients, to illustrate the process.
Solution Of A Quadratic Equation By Using The Quadratic Formula ( Shreedharacharya's Rule ) [1:27:30]
The quadratic formula, also known as Sridharacharya's rule, is a method to find the roots of a quadratic equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0. The formula is x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a. The term b² - 4ac is called the discriminant (D), which determines the nature of the roots. The video explains how to apply the quadratic formula, emphasizing the importance of correctly identifying the values of a, b, and c. It also shows how to simplify the formula by using the discriminant and provides examples of solving quadratic equations using this method.
