Here are the important formulas in quadratic equations, in standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, that you need to know and remember:
1. The sum of the 2 real roots: x1 + x2 = -b/a(1)
2. The product of the 2 real roots: x1.x2 = c/a(2)
3. The Discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac (3)
4. The quadratic formula
x1 = -b/2a + squareroot of D/2a, and x2 = -b/2a- squareroot of D/2a (4)
NOTE. There is an improved quadratic formula, called the quadratic formula in graphic form, that you need to know. (Amazon e-book 2010)
The 2 real roots of a quadratic equation are given by this formula:
x1 = -b/2a + d/2a ; and x2 = -b/2a - d/2a(1)
In this formula:
The quantity (-b/2a) represent the x-coordinate of the parabola axis.
The quantities (d/2a) and (-d/2a) represent the 2 distances from the parabola axis to the two x-intercepts of the parabola.
The quantity (d) can be zero, a number (real or radical), or imaginary that will translate into a double root, 2 real roots, or no real roots.
This formula is simpler and easier to remember since we can relate it to the two x-intercepts of the parabola graph.
The quantity (d) can be compute from the relation:
d^2 = b^2 - 4ac (2)
This relation (2) can be easily obtained by writing that the product of the 2 real roots is equal to (c/a). To solve a quadratic equation, first find (d) from the relation (2), then compute the 2 real roots by the formula (1).

Yes FOIL method can be used with quadratic expressions and equations
They are the solutions for the reduced quadratic.
Equations are not linear when they are quadratic equations which are graphed in the form of a parabola
Many situation can be described by quadratic equations. For example, the height of an object when dropped or shot up in the air.
