What is a Quadratic Equation?

A Quadratic Equation is an algebraic equation in some variable x with the highest degree of terms being 2. The Quadratic Equation in its standard form is ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a and b are the coefficients, x is the variable, and c is the constant term. The first condition for an equation to be a Quadratic Equation is the coefficient of x2 is a non-zero term(a ≠ 0).
If the discriminant is positive, then the Quadratic Equation will have two real roots. If the discriminant is zero, then the Quadratic Equation will have one real root. If the discriminant is negative, then the Quadratic Equation will not have any real roots.
