Quadratic Inequality

A quadratic inequality compares a quadratic expression with zero, such as x2x6>0x^{2}-x-6>0. We solve it by finding the roots, then testing which regions of the number line satisfy the inequality.

A sketch of the parabola or a number line makes the correct range of xx clear.

Where it appears in Add Math

You meet Quadratic Inequality in the Quadratic Functions chapter of SPM Additional Mathematics. Knowing the term precisely matters in the exam: questions often hinge on reading a keyword correctly, and because SPM marking is analytic, using the right definition in your working helps secure method marks.

Our teachers make sure a student can not only recite what Quadratic Inequality means but use it fluently in a full solution.

The term in three languages

Because the SPM Add Math paper is bilingual (BM/EN), it helps to know this term in each language: Quadratic Inequality (EN) · Ketaksamaan Kuadratik (BM) · 二次不等式 (中文)
