SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATION

BY USING
THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
 THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
• ANOTHER TECHNIQUE IN SOLVING QUADRATIC
EQUATIONS IS TO USE THE QUADRATIC
FORMULA.
• A QUADRATIC EQUATION WRITTEN IN
STANDARD FORM ax2 + bx + c = 0, HAS THE
SOLUTION:

=
STEPS IN SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
USING THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
1. WRITE THE EQUATION IN STANDARD FORM
x2 + 4x + 3 = 0
2. LIST THE NUMERICAL VALUES OF THE COEFFICIENTS a, b
AND c.
a=1; b=4;
3. WRITE
c = 3 THE QUADRATIC
FORMULA. =
4. SUBSTITUTE THE NUMERICAL VALUES FOR a, b AND c IN
THE QUADRATIC FORMULA; SIMPLIFY AND CHECK.
