Quadratic Equations This is what a "Standard" Quadratic Equation looks like: •The letters a, b and c are coefficients (you know those values). They can have any value, except that a can't be 0. •The letter "x" is the variable or unknown (you don't know it yet) Here is an example of one: The name Quadratic comes from "quad" meaning square, because the variable gets squared (like x2). It is also called an "Equation of Degree 2" (because of the "2" on the x) More Examples of Quadratic Equations: In this one a=2, b=5 and c=3 This one is a little more tricky: •Where is a? In fact a=1, as we don't usually write "1x2" •b = -3 •And where is c? Well, c=0, so is not shown.

Laws of Exponents (am)(an) = am+n (ab)m = ambm (am)n = amn a0 = 1 (am)/(an) = am-n a-m= 1/(am) Quadratic Formula In an equation like ax2 + bx + c = 0 You can solve for x using the Quadratic Formula: Binomial Theorem (a + b)1 = a + b (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 (a + b)4 = a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4 ...and so on... Difference of Squares a2 - b2 = (a - b)(a + b) Rules of Zero 0/x = 0 where x is not equal to 0. a0 = 1 0a = 0 a*0 = 0 a/0 is undefined (you can't do it)

Factoring

A "quadratic" is a polynomial that looks like "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers. For the easy case of factoring, you will find two numbers that will not only multiply to equal the constant term "c", but also add up to equal "b", the coefficient on the x-term. For instance: Factor x2 + 5x + 6. I need to find factors of 6 that add up to 5. Since 6 can be written as the product of 2 and 3, and since 2 + 3 = 5, then I'll use 2 and 3. I know from multiplying polynomials that this quadratic is formed from multiplying two factors of the form "(x + m)(x + n)", for some numbers m and n. So I'll draw my parentheses, with an "x" in the front of each: (x ??? ? )(x??? ? ) Then I'll write in the two numbers that I found above: (x + 2)(x + 3)
