Quadratic Equations This is what a "Standard" Quadratic Equation looks like: •The letters a, b and c are coefficients (you know those values). They can have any value, except that a can't be 0. •The letter "x" is the variable or unknown (you don't know it yet) Here is an example of one: The name Quadratic comes from "quad" meaning square, because the variable gets squared (like x2). It is also called an "Equation of Degree 2" (because of the "2" on the x) More Examples of Quadratic Equations: In this one a=2, b=5 and c=3 This one is a little more tricky: •Where is a? In fact a=1, as we don't usually write "1x2" •b = -3 •And where is c? Well, c=0, so is not shown.

The history of algebra began in ancient Egypt and Babylon, where people learned to solve linear (ax = b) and quadratic (ax2 + bx = c) equations, as well as indeterminate equations such as x2 + y2 = z2, whereby several unknowns are involved. The ancient Babylonians solved arbitrary quadratic equations by essentially the same procedures taught today. They also could solve some indeterminate equations.

Laws of Exponents (am)(an) = am+n (ab)m = ambm (am)n = amn a0 = 1 (am)/(an) = am-n a-m= 1/(am) Quadratic Formula In an equation like ax2 + bx + c = 0 You can solve for x using the Quadratic Formula: Binomial Theorem (a + b)1 = a + b (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 (a + b)4 = a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4 ...and so on... Difference of Squares a2 - b2 = (a - b)(a + b) Rules of Zero 0/x = 0 where x is not equal to 0. a0 = 1 0a = 0 a*0 = 0 a/0 is undefined (you can't do it)
