✴ Quadratic equations:
An equation which has the highest degree or of order 2 is named as quadratic equations
=> The equation is of the form:
P (x) = ax^2 + bx + c =0
Usually, an quadratic equation will have at least one real root. ( mostly it will have two solutions).
☆ Factorising quadratic equations
Let me take an example,
p (x)= x^2 + 2 x + 3 =0 ---- This is an quadratic equation.
Now, we will factorise this equation
There are two methods to find the roots of the equation;
1) x^2 + 2 x + 3 =0
Product of the roots= 3
Sum of the roots = 2
( 1 ,3 )
x^2 + x + 3 x + 3 =0
lets take x ( common)
x (x + 1) + 3 ( x +1 ) =0
(x + 3)( x + 1 ) =0
=> x = -3 ; - 1

The other way is by using an formula:
x = - b + root of b^2 - 4ac

2 a
