    Quadratic Equation: Quadratic equations have many applications in the arts and sciences‚ business‚ economics‚ medicine and engineering. Quadratic Equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x. A general quadratic equation is: ax2 + bx + c = 0‚ Where‚ x is an unknown variable a‚ b‚ and c are constants (Not equal to zero) Special Forms: * x² = n if n < 0‚ then x has no real value * x² = n if n > 0‚ then x = ± n * ax² + bx = 0 x = 0‚ x = -b/a

    • 2 Pages

    Maxwell’s EquationsMaxwell’s equations represent one of the most elegant and concise ways to state the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism. From them one can develop most of the working relationships in the field. Because of their concise statement‚ they embody a high level of mathematical sophistication and are therefore not generally introduced in an introductory treatment of the subject‚ except perhaps as summary relationships. These basic equations of electricity and magnetism can be used
