Weak 5: Quadratic Equations

Introduction:


Quadratic Equation:


The word “quadratic” comes from “quadratum”, the Latin word for square. Hence, we define a quadratic equation as an equation where the variable is of the second degree. Therefore, a quadratic equation is also called an “Equation of degree 2”.

Real world problems can often be studied with the help of mathematical equations. Often, these equations are of various higher orders. One such equation is the quadratic equation, an equation of order two.
