Question

when will be the equation ax^2+bx+c=0 becomes a quadratic equation and when it won't.​

Answer 1

▪ Quadratic equation: A polynomial in x, equalling to 0, with highest power 2 of x, is called a quadratic equation.

▪ General form a quadratic equation: The general form of a quadratic equation is

ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, c are constants with non-zero a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

ax² + bx + c = 0

It will be a quadratic equation only when the coefficient of x² will be non-zero, i.e., a ≠ 0.

It will not be a quadratic equation if the coefficient of x² vanishes, i.e., a = 0.
