Quadratic equations take the following form:
Where x is the only variable and a, b and c are just numbers (constants, that may also be zero!) If a=0 then the equation is not quadratic: bx + c = 0 However, if b=0 then it can be: ax² + c = 0 Whilst if c=0 then it's: ax² + bx = 0 It is all much less confusing with numbers!
