Definition:
Any equation in the form of ax2 + bx + c, where a != 0 is called a QuadraticEquation. ('a != 0' means 'a is not equal to zero')
Alternatively,
If the highest exponent over any variable in an equation is 2, it is known as a
Quadratic Equation.
Or,
Any equation formed by equating a quadratic expression to zero is a quadratic equation.
Examples of Quadratic Equations:
- 2x2 + 2x + 1 is a quadratic equation in the variable 'x'
- 3y2 + 3y + 1 is a quadratic equation in the variable 'y'
- 8x2 + 16 = 37x is a quadratic equation in the variable 'x'
- x2 = 1 is a quadratic equation in the variable 'x'
- x2 - 1 = 0 is a quadratic equation in the variable 'x'
- a2 = 0 is a quadratic equation in the variable 'a'
