If the area of the rectangle is equal to the area of the square, then we can form an equation.
( 2 x3 )( x2 )=( x )( x )
2 x 27 x +6=x 2
Equations of this form are known as quadratic equations.
The term "quadratic" comes from quadratus, which is the Latin word for "square".
In mathematics, a quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree. It is
because the highest power of x is 2 and involves only one unknown.
The general form of a quadratic equation is
If p and q are the roots of a quadratic equation, then the quadratic equation is:
x2 ( p + q)x + pq = 0
where ( p + q ) is the sum of roots and pq is the product of the roots
There are three possible cases for the roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, a 0
a) b2 4ac > 0 The roots are distinct
b) b2 4ac = 0 The roots are equal
c) b2 4ac < 0 The roots are not real
