Pure Quadratic Equation & Adfected Quadratic Equation
Quadratic equation,in the form $$ax^2+bx+c = 0$$, is termed as quadratic expression and the equation of the form $$ax^2+bx+c = 0$$, a≠0 is called quadratic equation in x. This equation is also known to be pure quadratic equation if the value of b is zero i.e. b=0. Otherwise it is said to be adfected. The letters a, b, and c are called coefficients: and c is the constant coefficient.

Learning objectives

 * 1) To distinguish between pure & adfected equations among the given equations.
 * 2) Standard forms of pure & adfected quadratic equations.

Notes for teachers

 * 1) Knowledge of general form of quadratic equations
 * 2) roots of equation
 * 3) proper use of signs.
