Solving Quadratic Equations by Formulae,arts of the three terms by letters, using ., ., and .:.You will agree that any quadratic equation can be manipulated into the form of equation (1), with a single number in place of each ., . and .. Any of these numbers may of course be negative. The formula you must remember is:

Graphs and Co-ordinates,e call .. Since we will only be working in two dimensions it is usual to locate points on a graph by means of the ., that is the distance from the vertical axis, and the ., that is the distance from the horizontal axis.

Equation of a Straight Line,ne from a graph of the line. In this section we shall look more closely at the co-ordinates of points on a straight line to see if there is a way of finding each . from each . co-ordinate. If we can establish such a connection then we shall have what is known as the . of the line.

Fallibility

Equation to Graph,this step — to draw a graph of a straight line whose equation is given. From our present knowledge this is a relatively elementary operation. Let us approach the problem via an example: suppose we wish to draw a graph of the line . = ¾. + 2.

Solving Quadratic Equations by Formulae,rd, this formula is one of the two most memorable ones in mathematics. Since it has to apply to . quadratic equation we must represent the numerical parts of the three terms by letters, using ., ., and .:.You will agree that any quadratic equation can be manipulated into the form of equation (1), wi

Indices,nt indices and the same base. By the end of the section we shall be using any real number as an index, so here is how to read them. Apart from ‘squared’ for the index . and ‘cubed’ for the index ., the easiest way to read an expression containing an index is the straightforward one. Thus 2. and 2. a
