JEE Main Mathematics syllabus: 4 units

|
1

Quadratic Equations & Roots

No official chapter weightage

Discriminant root analysis, sign properties of trinomials, Vieta's relations, and common root conditions.

Comprehensive Unit Scope:

Discriminant root analysis, sign properties of trinomials, Vieta's relations, and common root conditions.

Sub-Topics & Theorems (4):
Discriminant & Nature of Roots (Real, Distinct, Complex)
Vieta's Formulas for Higher Degree Polynomials
Location of Roots with Geometric Boundary Constraints
Common Roots Between Two Quadratic Equations
Core Formula Benchmark:
x=−b±b2−4ac2a,α+β=−ba,αβ=cax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}, \quad \alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a}, \quad \alpha\beta = \frac{c}{a}
