quadratic_equation = lambda x, b, c : a*(x**2) + b*x + c == 0

or if x, b and c are supposed to be captured from the current

quadratic_equation = lambda : a*(x**2) + b*x + c == 0

using '=' for assignement and '==' for equality test does the same
thing. And it's a very common pattern in programming languages.
