Quadratic and Polynomial Equations

If you’re in Algebra I, get ready for a lot of quadratic and polynomial equations. While these equations can be tough at first, you’ll need to know them well for Algebra II and even Calculus. The first thing you should know is that a quadratic equation is a type of polynomial equation – so any rules that apply for polynomial equations also apply for quadratics. A polynomial equation is a polynomial function written as a combination of terms such as 6x, x² and x⁵. A quadratic equation is a polynomial function where the highest powered term is 2, written in the form: ax² + bx + c = y. In Algebra I, you’ll learn about using square roots to solve quadratic equations, solving polynomial equations, solving quadratic equations by completing the square, solving quadratic equations by factoring, solving quadratic equations by graphing, solving quadratic equations by using the quadratic formula, and the fundamental theorem of Algebra. On Alleyoop, you can learn all these methods of solving quadratic and polynomial equations and more with our step-by-step video lessons and interactive practice activities.
