Theory of Quadratic equations (C)
" If a variable occurs in an equation with all positive integer powers and the highest power is two, then it is called a Quadratic Equation(in that variable)."
In other words, a second-degree polynomial in x equated to zero will be a quadratic equation, the coefficient of x² should not be zero.
The most general form of a quadratic equation is ax²+ bx + c= 0, where a≠ 0(and a, b, c are real)
Some examples of quadratic equations are:
1) x² - 5x + 6 = 0
2) x² - x - 6 = 0
3) 2x² + 3x - 2 = 0
4) 2x² + 5x - 3 = 0
Like a first degree equation in x has one value of x satisfying the equation, a quadratic equation in x will have TWO values of x that satisfy the equation. The values of x that satisfy the equation are called the ROOTS of the equation. These roots may be real or complex.
For the four quadratic equations given above, the roots are given below:
In (1) x= 2 and x= 3
In (2) x=- 2 and x= 3
In (3) x= 1/2 and x= -2
In (4) x= 1 and x= -3/2
In general, the roots of a quadratic question can be found out in two ways.
i) by factorizing the expression on the left hand side of the quadratic equation.
ii) by using the standard formula.
All the expressions may not be easy to factorise whereas applying the formula is simple and straight forward.
finding the roots by factorization if the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c= 0 can be written in the form of (x - m)(x - n) = 0, then the roots of the equation are m and n.
To find the roots of a quadratic equation, we should first write it in the form of (x - m)(x - n) = 0, i.e., the left hand side ax² + bx + c of the quadratic equation ax²+ bx + c= 0 should be factorised into two factors.
For the purpose, we should go through the following steps. We will understand these steps with the help of the equation x² - 5x + 6= 0 which is the first of the four quadratic equations we looked at as examples above.
* first write down b(the coefficient of x) as a sum of two quantities whose product is equal to ac.
In this case -5 has to be written as the sum of two quantities whose product is 6. We can write-- 5 as (-3)+ (-2) so that the product of (-3) and (-2) is equals to 6.
* Now rewrite the equation with 'bx' term split in the above manner.
In this case, the given equation can be written as x² - 3x - 2x+ 6= 0.
* Take the first to terms and rewrite them together after taking out the common factor between the two of them. Similarly, the third and the fourth terms should be rewritten after taking out the common factor between the two of them. In other words, You should ensure that what is left from the first and the second terms (after removing the common factor) is the same as that left from the third and the fourth term (after removing their common factor).
In this case, the equation can be written as x(x-3) - 2(x -3)= 0; Between the first and second terms as well as the third and fourth terms, we are left with (x-3) is a common factor.
* Rewrite the entire left hand side to get form (x - m)(x - n).
In this case, if we take out (x -3) as the common factor, we can rewrite the given equation as (x -3)(x -2)= 0.
* Now, m and n are the roots of the given quadratic equation.
=> for x² - 5x + 6= 0, the roots of the equation are 3 and 2.
For the other three quadratic equations given above as examples, let us see how to factorise the expression and get the roots.
For equation (2), i.e., x²- x -6= 0, the coefficient of x which is -1 can be written as (-3) + (+2) so that their product is -6 which is equals to ac (1 multiplied by -6). Then we can rewrite the equation as (x -3)(x +2)= 0 giving us the roots as 3 and -2.
For equation (3), i.e., 2x²+ 3x- 2= 0, the coefficient of x which is 3 can be written as (+4) + (-1) so that their product is -4 which is the value of ac (-2 multiplied by 2). Then we can rewrite the equation as (2x -1)(x +2)= 0 giving the roots as 1/2 and-2.
For equation (4), i e., 2x²+ x -3= 0, the coefficient of x which is 1 can be written as (+3)+ (-2) so that their product is -6 which is equal to ac (2 multiplied by -3). Then we can rewrite the given equation as (x -1)(2x +3)= 0 giving us the roots as 1 and -3/2.
Finding out the roots by using the formula
if the quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c= 0, then we can use the standard formula given below to find out the roots of the equation.
x= {-b ± √(b² - 4ac)}/2a.
The roots of four quadratic equations we can took as examples above can be taken and their roots found out by using the above formula. The student is advised to check it out for himself that the roots can be obtained by using this formula also.
Sum and product of roots of a quadratic equation
For the Quadratic Equation ax²+ bx+ c= 0, the sum of the roots and the product of the roots can be given by the following:
Sum of the roots= - b/a
Product of the roots= c/a
These two rules will be very helpful in solving problems on quadratic equation.
Nature Of The Roots
We mentioned already that the roots of the Quadratic Equation with real Coefficient can be real or complex. When the roots are real, they can be equal or unequal. All this will depend on the expression b² - 4ac. Since b² - 4ac determines the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation, it is called the DISCRIMINANT of the quadratic equation.
* if b² - 4ac > 0, then the roots of the quadratic equation will be real and distinct.
* if b² - 4ac = 0, the roots are real and equal.
* if b² - 4ac < 0, then the roots of the quadratic equation will be complex conjugates.
Thus we can write down the following about the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation when a, b, c are all rational.
* when b²- 4ac< 0, the roots are complex and unequal
* when b²- 4ac = 0 the roots are rational and equal
* when b² - 4ac > 0 and a perfect square, the roots are rational and unequal.
* When b²- 4ac > 0 but not a perfect square, the roots are irrational and unequal.
Whenever the roots of the Quadratic Equation are irrational, (a, b, c being rational) they will be of the form a+ √b and a - √b, i.e., whenever a+ √b is one root of a quadratic equation, then a - √b will be second root of the quadratic equation and vice versa.
Sign Of The Roots
We can comment on the signs of the roots, i.e., whether the roots are positive or negative, based on the sign of the sum of the roots and the product of the roots of the quadratic equation. The following table will make the clear relationship between the sum and the product of the roots and the signs of the roots themselves.

+ve + ve Both the roots are positive
+ ve - ve the roots are negative
- ve + ve the numerically larger root is positive and the other root is negative
- ve - ve the numerically larger root is negative and the other root is positive.
Constructing A Quadratic Equation
We can build a quadratic equation in the following cases:
* when the roots of the quadratic equation are given
* when the sum of the roots and the product of the roots of the quadratic equation are given.
* When the relation between the roots of the equation to be framed and the roots of another equation is given.
if the roots of the quadratic equation are given as m and n, the equation can be written as (x - m)(x - n)= 0 i.e., x² - x(m+ n)+ mn= 0.
if p is the sum of the roots of the quadratic equation and q is the product of the roots of the quadratic equation, then the equation can be written as x²- px + q= 0.
Constructing A New Quadratic Equation By Changing The Roots Of A Given Quadratic Equation
If we are given a quadratic equation, we can build a new quadratic equation by changing the roots of this equation in the manner specified to us.
For example, let us take a quadratic equation ax²+ bx + c= 0 and let its roots be m and n respectively. Then we can build new quadratic equations as per the following patterns:
i) A quadratic equation whose roots are the reciprocal of the given equation ax² + bx + c= 0, i.e., the roots are 1/m, and 1/n:
This can be obtained by substituting 1/x in place of x in the given equation given giving us cx²+ bx + a= 0, i.e., we get the equation required by inter-changing the coefficient of x² and the constant term.
ii) A quadratic equation whose roots are k more than the roots of the equation ax²+ bx+ c= 0, i.e., the roots are (m+ k) and (n + k).
This can be obtained by substituting (x - k) in place of x in the given equation.
iii) A quadratic equation whose roots are k less than the roots of the equation ax²+ bx + c= 0, i.e., the roots are (m - k) and (n - k).
This can be obtained by substituting (x + k) in place of x in the given equation.
iv) A quadratic equation whose roots are k times the roots of the equation ax²+ bx + c= 0, i.e., the roots are km and kn.
This can be obtained by substituting x/k in place of x in the given equation.
v) A quadratic equation whose roots are 1/k times the roots of the equation ax²+ bx+ c = 0, i.e., the roots are m/k and n/k
This can be obtained by substituting kx in place of x in the given equation.
An equation whose degree is 'n' will have n roots
Maximum Or Minimum Value Of A Quadratic Expression
An equation of the type ax²+ bx+ c= 0 is called a quadratic equation. An expression of the type ax²+ bx+ c is called a "quadratic expression". The quadratic expression ax²+ bx + c takes different values as x takes different values.
As x varies from -∞ to +∞, (i.e., when x is real) the quadratic expression ax²+ bx + c
i) has a minimum value whenever a> 0 (i.e., a is positive). The minimum value of the quadratic expression is (4ac - b²)/4a and it occurs at x= - b/2a.
ii) has a maximum value whenever a< 0 (i.e., a is negative). The maximum value of the Quadratic Expression is (4ac - b²)/4a and it occurs at x= - b/2a.
Equations Of Higher Degree
The index of the highest power of x in the equation is called degree of the equation. For example, if the highest power of x in the equation is x³, then the degree of the equation is said to be 3. An equation whose degree is 3 is called a cubic equation.
Existence Of A root
if f(x) is an nth degree polynomial in x and f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs, then there exists a root of the equation f(x)= 0, between a and b.
Number Of Roots
A linear equation has 1 root, a quadratic has 2 roots ( provided they are counted properly). For example x² = 0 has two roots, both of which are 0).
Similarly an nth degree equation has n roots, provided they are counted properly.
We know that if a is a root of f(x)= 0, then x - a is a factor of f(x).
If (x - a)ᵐ is a factor of f(x) but (x - a)ᵐ⁺¹ is not, then the root a should be counted m times. m is said to be the multiplicity of the root a. The root a is said to be a simple, double, triple or n-tuple root according to as m= 1, 2, 3 or n.
If we count each root as many times as it's multiplicity, we find that an nth degree equation has n roots.
Type Of roots
1) If all the coefficients of f(x) are real, and p + iq (where i= √-1) is a root of the equation f(x)= 0, then p - iq is also a root, i e , Complex roots occur as a conjugate pairs. Therefore, if the degree of an equation is odd, it has atleast 1 real root.
2) if the number of changes of sign in f(x) is p, then f(x)= 0 has at most p positive roots. The actual number of positive roots could be o, p -2, p - 4 .... i.e., the number of the positive roots is equal to the number of sign changes in f(x) or less than that by an even number.
Ex: f(x)= 6x³ - 6x² + 11x - z
Consider the changes in the signs of successive terms of f(x) .
+ - + -
There are three changes of sign in f(x), so f(x)= 0 has 3 or 1 positive roots.
3) If the number of changes in the signs of the terms of f(-x) is q, then f(x) = 0 has at most q negative roots. The actual number of negative roots could be q, q-2, q- 4,...., i e , the number of negative roots is equal to the number of sign changes in f(-x) or less than that by an even number.
f(x)= 2x⁵ + 3x⁴ + 5x³ + 6x² + 2x +1
=> f(-x)= -2x⁵+ 3x⁴ - 5x³ + 6x² - 2x +1
i e., There are 5 changes of sign in f(-x), so f(x)= 0 has 5, 3 or 1 negative roots.
Consider the equation f(x)= x⁴ + 4x³ + 6x +24= 0.
Since there is no change of sign in f(x) = 0, p= 0
f(x)= 0 does not have any positive real root.
f(-x) = x⁴ - 4x³ - 6x + 24
The number of changes of sign in f(x) is 2.
So f(x)= 0 has 2 or 0 negative roots.
So, the number of complex roots is 2 or 4.
NOTE: Rule (2) and (3) are known as Descarte's rule of sign.
