A quadratic is an equation whereby the highest exponent of the variable is 2; the graph of which forms a parabola.

The relationship between two variables is linear if, when plotted on a pair of axes, a straight line is formed.

In the future unit, pupils will learn how to extend their understanding of solving equations and extend this to consider inequalities. Pupils will consider a variety of inequalities and ways that their solutions can be represented.

In the prior unit, pupils learnt to solve quadratic equations by factorising and this skill will be required in this unit through manipulating two simultaneous equations to find the solutions. For pupils studying the higher content, solving quadratic equations is required if one of the simultaneous equations is a quadratic.
