Quadratic equations are equations of the second degree. Many real-world situations deal with quadratic equations and parabolas. Students in this chapter will understand several applications of solving quadratic equations. Have you ever thought about how to solve these equations? Problems based on numbers, time and work, geometrical figures, distance, speed and time are included in this chapter. There are many ways of doing it, namely factorization method, formula method, completing the square etc. Let's explore some of them on this topic.
The steps involved in solving a word problem based on the quadratic equation:
