    This document discusses solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. It defines the quadratic formula as x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac))/2a and explains how to identify the coefficients a, b, and c to substitute into the formula. It also describes what the discriminant (b2 - 4ac) tells you about the number and type of solutions, whether they will be real or complex. Several examples are worked through to demonstrate solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. Students are provided practice problems to work through as well.

    Quadratic Formula

    Objectives

    To solve quadratic equations using


    the Quadratic Formula

    THE QUADRATIC FORMULA


    b b 2 4ac
    1. The quadratic formula is: x
    2a
    2.

    3.

    Just identify a, b, and c then substitute into


    the formula.
    b2- 4ac called discriminant.
