Concept #2 - Types of equations

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.
