Suc Add Math SPM 2012 Target F4

This document contains examples of solving quadratic equations by finding the roots. Several examples are worked through step-by-step to show how to determine if roots are real and distinct, equal, or imaginary based on the discriminant. Properties of sum and product of roots are used. One example involves doubling the roots of an original equation.
