  2. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

  3. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    In mathematics, a quadratic equation (from Latin quadratus 'square') is an equation that can be rearranged in standard form as [1] + + =, where the variable x represents an unknown number, and a, b, and c represent known numbers, where a ≠ 0. (If a = 0 and b ≠ 0 then the equation is linear, not quadratic

  4. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    where x is the variable, and a, b, and c represent the coefficients. Such polynomials often arise in a quadratic equation a x 2 + b x + c = 0. {\displaystyle ax^{2}+bx+c=0.} The solutions to this equation are called the roots and can be expressed in terms of the coefficients as the quadratic formula .

    For example, taking the statement x + 1 = 0, if x is substituted with 1, this implies 1 + 1 = 2 = 0, which is false, which implies that if x + 1 = 0 then x cannot be 1. If x and y are integers, rationals, or real numbers, then xy = 0 implies x = 0 or y = 0. Consider abc = 0. Then, substituting a for x and bc for y, we learn a = 0 or bc = 0.

    A well-known example is the quadratic formula x = − b ± b 2 − 4 a c 2 a , {\displaystyle x={\frac {-b\pm {\sqrt {b^{2}-4ac\ }}}{2a}},} which expresses the solutions of the quadratic equation

  7. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    In contrast, the graph of the function f(x) + k = x 2 + k is a parabola shifted upward by k whose vertex is at (0, k), as shown in the center figure. Combining both horizontal and vertical shifts yields f(x − h) + k = (x − h) 2 + k is a parabola shifted to the right by h and upward by k whose vertex is at (h, k), as shown in the bottom figure.

    In particular, the two solutions of a quadratic equation are conjugate, as per the in the quadratic formula =. Complex conjugation is the special case where the square root is i = − 1 , {\displaystyle i={\sqrt {-1}},} the imaginary unit .
