- 1 - UNIT I MATHEMATICAL TOOLS Basic Mathematics for physics Mathematics is the TOOL of physics . A good knowledge and applications of fundamentals of Mathematics (which are used in physics ) helps in understanding the physical phenomena and their applications. The topics introduced in this chapter enable us to understand topics of first year pre university physics . I. Quadratic Equation and its Solution A second degree equation is called quadratic equation. The equation, ax2 + bx + c = 0 is a quadratic equation, In this equation, a, b and c are constants and x is a variable quantity. The solution of the quadratic equation is 242bb acxa = Illustration: Comparing the given quadratic equation x2 5x + 6 = 0 with the standard form of quadratic equation a x2 +b x + c = 0 We have a = 1, b = -5, c = 6 Now, we know 22(5) (5) 4 1 64221bb acxxa = = 525245122 == 642232xorxorx=== Exercise : Solve for x comparing with the standard equation 1.
