Section 1.3 Quadratic Expressions and Equations 1

In this section, we will explore quadratic expressions and equations, which are important concepts in algebra. Quadratics might sound complicated, but they are actually all around us, and learning how to work with them will make solving many kinds of problems much easier. We will start by understanding what quadratic expressions and equations are and how they relate to real-life situations, like calculating areas. You will also learn different ways to solve these equations, such as factorization. By the end, you will not only know how to solve quadratic equations but also understand how they apply to everyday problems.
