Definition of a Quadratic Equation

A quadratic equation in x is an equation that can be written in the standard form

where a, b, and c are real numbers, with a = 0. A quadratic equation in x is also called a second-degree polynomial equation in x.

The Zero-Product Principle

If the product of two algebraic expressions is zero, then at least one of the factors is equal to zero.

If AB = 0, then A = 0 or B = 0.

example) 0)2)(5( xx

According to the principle, this product can be equal to zero if either

0)5( x 0)2( xor+5 +5

x = 5

+2 +2

x = 2

The resulting two statements indicate that the solutions are 5 and 2.

example) 0472 2 xxFactor the Trinomial using the methods we know.

0)12( x 0)4( xor

+1 +1

x = 1/2

- 4 - 4

x = - 4

The resulting two statements indicate that the solutions are 1/2 and - 4.

Solve a Quadratic Equation by Factoring

(2x )(x ) = 0- +1 4

2x = 1

example) 962 xxMove all terms to one side with zero on the other. Then factor.

0)3( x+3 +3

The resulting two statements indicate that the solutions are 3.

Solve a Quadratic Equation by Factoring

(x )(x ) = 0- -3 3

x = 3

The trinomial is a perfect square, so we only need to solve once.
