Quadratic Equations Equations Quadratic MODULE - I Algebra 2 Notes QUADRATIC EQUATIONS Recall that an algebraic equation of the second degree is written in general form as ax 2 + bx + c = 0‚ a ≠ 0 It is called a quadratic equation in x. The coefficient ‘a’ is the first or leading coefficient‚ ‘b’ is the second or middle coefficient and ‘c’ is the constant term (or third coefficient). For example‚ 7x² + 2x + 5 = 0‚ 5 1 x² + x + 1 = 0‚ 2 2 1 = 0‚ 2 x² + 7x = 0‚ are all
