1.1 Quadratic Expressions - SPM Mathematics(A) Identifying quadratic expression 1. A quadratic expression is an algebraic expression of the form ax2 + bx + c, where a, b and c are constants, a ≠ 0 and x is an unknown. (a) The highest power of x is 2. (b) For example, 5x2– 6x + 3 is a quadratic expression. Example 1 State whether ... Read more

1.2 Graph of Quadratic Function - SPM Mathematics1.2 The Graph of Quadratic Function The graph of quadratic function is parabola. When the coefficient of x2 is positive the graph is a parabola with U shape. When the coefficient of x2 is negative the graph is a parabola with ∩ shape. Axis of Symmetry The axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through the maximum or ... Read more

1.3 Factorisation of Quadratic Expression - SPM Mathematics1.3 Factorisation of Quadratic Expression (A) Factorisation quadratic expressions of the form ax2 + bx + c, b = 0 or c = 0 1. Factorisation of quadratic expressions is a process of finding two linear expressions whose product is the same as the quadratic expression. 2. Quadratic expressions ax2 + c and ax2 + ... Read more
