So here itd be the t values that make f of t equal zero. In algebra a quadratic equation from the Latin quadratus for square is any equation that can be rearranged in standard form as ax²bxc0 where x represents an unknown and a b and c represent known numbers where a 0. If abc0 then the left side of the equation becomes 0.
Zero there is one real solution.
M mm 1. First in order for an equation to be a quadratic the a in ax2bxc 0 cant 0 As soon as a 0 you no longer have a 2nd degree equation. More About Quadratic Equation In any quadratic equation the highest power of an unknown quantity is 2. Negative there are 2 complex solutions.
