Question

What do solutions to quadratic equations mean?

Answer 1

Solutions to a quadratic equations depict the values, which when substituted for 'x'(the main variable), makes the values of the quadratic equation zero.

For example,

In the quadratic equation shown below:

x^2+2x-8=0

If we put x=2 in the above quadratic equation,

2^2+2*2-8

=4+4-8

=8-8

=0.

Therefore, x=2 is a solution to the above quadratic equation.
