Here are the formulas and their explanations:

  1. x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} This is the quadratic formula.

    • Topic: It is used in algebra to solve quadratic equations.
    • Application: You apply this formula to find the values of xx (the roots or solutions) for any quadratic equation written in the standard form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where aa, bb, and cc are coefficients and a≠0a \neq 0.
  2. D=b2−4acD = b^2 - 4ac This is the discriminant of a quadratic equation.

    • Topic: It is also part of algebra and relates to quadratic equations.
    • Application: You use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots (solutions) of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 without solving the entire equation.
      • If D>0D > 0, there are two distinct real roots.
      • If D=0D = 0, there is one real root (a repeated root).
      • If D<0D < 0, there are two complex conjugate roots (no real roots).
