Quadratic Equations


   
 
Equations reducible to quadratic form
Type 1
 
Equations of the form
 
 
 
In such equations, put xn = t then the equation reduces to at2 + bt + c = 0.
 
Solve for t and then obtain the value of x.
 
Type 2
 
Equations of the form
 
 
In these equations, put mx = t so that the equation takes the form
 
 
Solving for t and then obtain the value of x.
 
Type 3
 
Equations of the form
 
 
In such equations, multiply by x throughout to obtain the form Ax2 + Bx + C = 0.
 
Now these equations can be solved for x.
 
Type 4
 
(x + a)(x + b)(x + c)(x + d) = 0
 
In such equations, if the sum of any two constants a, b, c, d is equal to
 
sum of the other two, then such pairs are multiplied and solve them
 
if a+b = c+d = m then,
 
 
Now put x2 + mx = t then, (t + ab)(t + cd) + k = 0.
 
This can be solved for t and then obtain the value of x.
 
Type 5
 
Equations of the type
 
 
This equation can be solved by squaring both the sides.
 
 
This equation is solved by equating both sides, rearranging and squaring again.
