The learners will identify
the values of a, b, and c.
1.) x2 + 5x – 4 = 0
2.) 4x2 + 8x + 3 = 0
3.) 4x2 – 10x + 1 = 0
4.) 3x2 – 8x – 15 = 0
5.) x2 – 14x – 4 = 0
Why use the quadratic
formula?
The quadratic formula allows you to solve ANY
quadratic equation, even if you cannot actor it.

An important piece of the quadratic

formula is what’s under the radical:

𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒 𝒂𝒄
This piece is called the 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒕 .
Why is the discriminant
important?
 The discriminant tells you the
number and types of roots you
will get.

 The discriminant can be + ,

-, or 0
 Let’s try!

𝑥 −6𝑥+9=0
BOARD
WORK!
 Solve for the discriminant of each
quadratic equation by the formula b2
– 4ac.

1.) x2 – 4x + 4 = 0
2.) x2 + 7x + 10 = 0
3.) x2 + 6x + 3 = 0
4.) x2 + 2x + 5 = 0

2. When do you say that the roots

of a quadratic equation are real or
not real numbers? rational or
irrational numbers? equal or not
equal?
