QUADRATIC EQUATIONS OR TRIGONOMETRY IN MATHEMATICS

Abstract

Where x represents an unknown value, and a, b, and c represent known numbers. One supposes generally that a ≠ 0; those equations with a = 0 are considered degenerate because the equation then becomes linear or even simpler. The numbers a, b, and c are the coefficients of the equation and may be distinguished by calling them, respectively, the quadratic coefficient, the linear coefficient and the constant or free term.
