Quadratic Equations Lessons

Using the quadratic equation

Solve by completing the square

 $x^2+4x+3=0$  

Solve

 $ax^2+bx+c=0\$  

• by completing the square

•  $x^2+\frac{bx}{a}+\frac{c}{a}=0$  

•  $x^2+\frac{bx}{a}=-\frac{c}{a}$  

•  $\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2=-\frac{c}{a}$  

•  $\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\frac{c}{a}$  

•  $\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2-\frac{c}{a}$  

•  $\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\frac{b^2}{4a^2}-\frac{c}{a}$  

•  $\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\frac{b^2}{4a^2}-\frac{4ac}{4a^2}$  

•  $x+\frac{b}{2a}^{ }=\pm\sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}$  

•  $x+\frac{b}{2a}^{ }=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a^{ }}$  

•  $x+\frac{b}{2a}^{ }=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a^{ }}$  

•  $x^{ }=-\frac{b}{2a}\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a^{ }}$  

•  $x^{ }=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$  

Use the quadratic formula to solve:

 

 $x^2+4x+2=0$
