The numbers a b and c are the coefficients of the equation and may be distinguished by calling. There are other ways of solving a quadratic equation instead of using the quadratic formula such as factoring direct factoring grouping AC method completing the square graphing and others. The vertex is V -b 2a-Delta 4a or found the x_v-b 2a you can substitue it in the equation of the parabola at the place of x finding the y_v.
X 2 b a x c a 0 using the Multiplication Property of Equality Since r 1 and r 2 b a then we can substitute r 1 r 2 in place of b a.
They are the numerical coefficients of the quadratic equation theyve given you to solve. The general form of quadratic equation is ax2bxc0 Where a cannot be equal to zero and bc are integers and x-b- b24ac12 and the highest power is 2. In algebra a quadratic equation from the Latin quadratus for square is any equation that can be rearranged in standard form as where x represents an unknown and a b and c represent known numbers where a 0If a 0 then the equation is linear not quadratic as there is no term.
