  2. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Because (a + 1) 2 = a, a + 1 is the unique solution of the quadratic equation x 2 + a = 0. On the other hand, the polynomial x 2 + ax + 1 is irreducible over F 4, but it splits over F 16, where it has the two roots ab and ab + a, where b is a root of x 2 + x + a in F 16. This is a special case of Artin–Schreier theory.

    Let these correspond to the points P 1, P 2, P 3, P 4. Letting p 1 = ω + ω 4, p 2 = ω 2 + ω 3. we have p 1 + p 2 = −1, p 1 p 2 = −1. (These can be quickly shown to be true by direct substitution into the quartic above and noting that ω 6 = ω, and ω 7 = ω 2.) So p 1 and p 2 are the roots of the quadratic equation x 2 + x − 1 = 0.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

    In mathematics, a quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree. The general form is + + =, where a ≠ 0. The quadratic equation on a number can be solved using the well-known quadratic formula, which can be derived by completing the square.

  5. 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.

    All quadratic equations will have two solutions in the complex number system, but need not have any in the real number system. For example, + = has no real number solution since no real number squared equals −1. Sometimes a quadratic equation has a root of multiplicity 2, such as: (+) =

    That is, h is the x-coordinate of the axis of symmetry (i.e. the axis of symmetry has equation x = h), and k is the minimum value (or maximum value, if a < 0) of the quadratic function. One way to see this is to note that the graph of the function f ( x ) = x 2 is a parabola whose vertex is at the origin (0, 0).
