Quadratic Equation ⚫ What is Quadratic Equation ? ⚪ An equation in which the highest power of the unknown quantity is two is called quadratic equation. ⚫ Types of Roots of Quadratic Equation ⚪ The equation has real and distinct (different) roots if and only if D > 0 ⚪ The equation has real and equal roots if and only if D = b 2 -4ac = 0 ⚪ The equation has complex roots of the form α ± β , α , β ≠ 0 if and only if D = b 2 -4ac < 0 ⚪ The equation has rational roots if and if a, b ,c ∈ Q , and D = b 2 -4ac is a perfect square ⚪ The equation has (unequal) irrational roots if and only if D = b 2 -4ac > 0 and not a perfect square. In this case if p + √ q is an irrational root , then p - √ q is also a root ⚪ If α + iβ is a root of quadratic equation ,then α - iβ is also a root ⚫ Relation between roots and coefficients : ...
