PRINaPLES OF PURE QUADRATICS.

380. The Principles of Pure Quadratics relate to the form of the equation and Uie relative value of its roots.

PRINCIPUSS.

1. Every pure quadralie equation may be reduced to the form

Tot, it is evident we can reduce all the terms containing x* to one term, ■0 rtx^, and aU the known terms to one term, as 6; hence the form will beoome ooy'^ 6.

QnAJ>BATIC BQUAHOKB.

Dnc In. The general fimii of a'pore quadratic Is tfio^—5; diyiding by a, we haTe a^^b divided hy a; representing the quotient by fn\ we have T^'^m*; extracting the sqnaie root, we have x^ ^m. Therefore^ etc.

Dem. 2d. From the equation 7^ » m\ hy transposition, we have x*—fn'—0; fiMtoring, we have {x+m){x—m)^0. This equation can be satisfied by making x—fn equal 0, or by making x^ m equal 0, and in no other way (Art. 192, Prin. 1). Making a;—fn^O, we have x^ -f m; making z+m»0, we have x-> —tn. Therefore^ etc
