This document is essentially your entire working guide for the chapter “Quadratic Equations”. Not just definitions – this one actually shows you how to solve problems step-by-step, just like you would write in an exam. Here's what's inside: It begins with the basic idea of what a quadratic equation is (degree 2 , standard form ) . Then it gets right into the real stuff, the methods of solving, which is the meat of the chapter. You have three main ways of properly explaining: Factorization → split the equation in brackets and solve Completing the square → transforming into a perfect square form step by step Quadratic formula → the method that always works And not only names, it goes through each method like : step 1 - step 2 - step 3 - final solution So you can copy the structure in tests literally. Then it includes: Discriminant (D = b^2 − 4ac) → tells you what kind of solutions you’ll get Sum and product of roots → Useful for MCQs and difficult questions:-

1. Definition
A quadratic equation has degree 2.

ax² + bx + c = 0 (a ≠ 0)

2. Factorization Method (Step by Step)
Example: x² + 5x + 6 = 0

Step 1: Find two numbers whose sum = 5 and product = 6

Numbers are 2 and 3

Step 2: Split middle term

x² + 2x + 3x + 6 = 0

Step 3: Take common factors

x(x+2) + 3(x+2) = 0

Step 4: Write in bracket form

(x+2)(x+3)=0

Step 5: Solve

x = -2 , x = -3

3. Completing the Square (Step by Step)
Example: x² + 4x + 1 = 0

Step 1: Move constant

x² + 4x = -1

Step 2: Add (b/2)² = (4/2)² = 4 on both sides

x² + 4x + 4 = -1 + 4

Step 3: Write perfect square

(x+2)² = 3

Step 4: Take square root

x+2 = ±√3

Step 5: Solve

x = -2 ± √3

4. Quadratic Formula (Step by Step)
Example: 2x² - 3x - 2 = 0

Step 1: Identify values
