What is Quadratic Equation

Quadratic Equation and Quadratic Polynomials

Lets , start some interesting concept in mathematics , Quadratic Equations . Its used in lot of Areas while solving the problems and solutions of many practical real life problems.

We know about the expressions of the type

2x^3+5x^2+2x+1

5x^2+6x+1

These are called polynomials in the variable 'x'

The highest power of x term in the polynomial is known as Degree of the Polynomial

For example the degree of following polynomials are

2x^3+5x^2+2x+1

Highest Power of x is 3 , so degree of polynomial is 3

5x^2+6x+1

Highest Power of x is 2 , so degree of polynomial is 2

The polynomials of the form

ax^2+bx+c

where degree of polynomial is 2 and a≠0 , is known as Quadratic Equation
