Quadratic Equations Formulas — Class 10 ICSE

Solve quadratic equations by factorization, completing the square, and the quadratic formula.

Key Formulas

Standard Form

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Quadratic Formula

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Discriminant

D = b^2 - 4ac

Sum of Roots

\alpha + \beta = -\dfrac{b}{a}

Product of Roots

\alpha\beta = \dfrac{c}{a}

Forming Equation

x^2 - (\alpha+\beta)x + \alpha\beta = 0

Worked Examples

1Using: Linear Equation

Solve 3x + 5 = 20.

Step 1: 3x = 20 - 5 = 15.

Step 2: x = 15 / 3 = 5.

Answer: x = 5

2Using: Algebraic Identity

Expand (a + 3)^2.

Step 1: Using (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

Step 2: = a^2 + 6a + 9.

Answer: a^2 + 6a + 9
