The general form of a quadratic equation is y = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b and c are real constants and a ≠0. If a = 0 then it is not a quadratic! There are two ways of classifying the forms. "CUP OR CAP" If a > 0 then the graph of the quadratic is cup shaped - like a U. If a < 0 then the graph is cap shaped - like an inverted U. "NUMBER OF ROOTS" Using the above form, calculate the discriminant, d = b2 - 4ac If d > 0 the quadratic has two real roots. That is, two distinct real values of x for which y = 0. If d = 0 the quadratic has two coincident real roots. (Some consider this as one root but it is useful to consider the situation as two roots that coincide since that approach maintains parity between the number of roots and the order of the polynomial.) If d < 0 there are no real roots. Instead, it has two complex roots which will be conjugates of one another.
First, write the equation in standard form, i.e., put zero on the right. Then, depending on the case, you may have the following options:Factor the polynomialComplete the squareUse the quadratic formula
There are many ways: one is to factorise. If the quadratic is written as ax2 + bx + c then, if b2 = 4ac, the quadratic is a perfect square. It is (x - b/2a)2
That depends on what type of equation it is because it could be quadratic, simultaneous, linear, straight line or even differential

A quadratic function is a function where a variable is raised to the second degree (2). Examples would be x2, or for more complexity, 2x2+4x+16. The quadratic formula is a way of finding the roots of a quadratic function, or where the parabola crosses the x-axis. There are many ways of finding roots, but the quadratic formula will always work for any quadratic function. In the form ax2+bx+c, the Quadratic Formula looks like this: x=-b±√b2-4ac _________ 2a The plus-minus means that there can 2 solutions.

Teachers can find many ways to teach students the quadratic equation. An activity could include having contests where students race to solve the equations in the fastest time.
Here are two ways to know if a given quadratic equations can be factored (can be solved by factoring). 1. Calculate the Discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac. When D is a perfect square (its square root is a whole number), then the given equation can be factored. 2. Solve the equation by using the new Diagonal Sum method (Amazon e-book 2010). This method directly finds the 2 real roots without having to factor the equation. Solving usually requires fewer than 3 trials. If this method fails to get the answer, then we can conclude that the equation can not be factored, and consequently the quadratic formula must be used.

Normally by solving the equation if it is an equttion.
The three primary ways are: - writing an equation - drawing a diagram - reading a table
