quadratic equation

Physics
  • An equation of the second degree having the form ax2+bx+c=0. Its roots are:

    x=[-b±(b2-4ac)]/2a.


Mathematics
  • A quadratic equation in the unknown x is an equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are given real numbers, with a ≠ 0. This may be solved by completing the square or by using the quadratic formula

    x=b±b24ac2a,

    which is established by completing the square. The term b2 − 4ac is known as the discriminant. The equation has two distinct real roots, a repeated real root, or two complex conjugate roots, depending on whether the discriminant is positive, zero, or negative respectively.

    If α‎ and β‎ are the roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, then α‎ + β‎ = −b/a and αβ‎ = c/a. (See Viète’s formulae.) The quadratic formula is still valid over other fields provided that the discriminant has a square root in the field.


Chemical Engineering
  • A type of polynomial equation in which the highest power of the unknown variable is two, such as x2. It has the general form:

    ax2+bx+c=0

    where a, b, and c are constants. The two roots of the equation can be obtained using the formula:

    x=b±b24ac2a
