The general form of a quadratic equation is a x2
+ b x + c = 0,
where x is the variable; a, b, and c are constants . Since the expression on the left-hand side is a polynomial
of the second degree, the above equation is also called a second-degree
equation.
It can also be rewritten in form of a monic quadratic equation, if to divide the both sides by the coefficient a: . An equation of the form, a x2
+ c = 0,
is called an incomplete quadratic.
