Concept #2 - Types of equations
Pure Quadratic Equation & Adfected Quadratic Equation
Quadratic equation,in the form , is termed as quadratic expression and the equation of the form , 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.
