1) To solve a quadratic equation that can be factored, factor the equation into a product of two linear binomials. Set each binomial equal to zero and solve for x.
2) To solve a quadratic equation that cannot be factored, use the quadratic formula. Plug the coefficients a, b, and c into the formula to find the solutions for x.
3) Depending on whether the discriminant is positive, zero, or negative, there will be 0, 1, or 2 real solutions.

1. Move to the 1. Factor out the *make sure the *make sure the other side GCF (x and maybe a #); equation is equal to equation is equal to (add if it’s negative; put the left-overs zero first!!!* zero first!!!* subtract if it’s positive) in parentheses 1. Factor the 1. Identify a, b, and c 2. Divide by on 2. Set both factors quadratic trinomial both sides equal to zero into two linear 2. Plug your values (you should have 2 binomials: into the Quadratic 3. Take the square equations) (x+__)(x+__) Formula: root of both sides (“unsquare it”) 3. Solve for x in both 2. Set both factors *don’t forget the ± equations equal to zero sign (y0u should have 2 (you should have 2 If the discriminant is: answers) Positive 2 real solutions equations) 1 real solution Negative NO real solution 3. Solve for x in both equations (y0u should have 2 answers)
