Solve using the Quadratic Formula.  $x^2+5x-104=0$  

•  $\left\{-8,13\right\}$  

•  $\left\{-13,8\right\}$  

•  $\left\{9,14\right\}$  

•  $\left\{-9,14\right\}$ 

Determine the values of a, b, and c for the quadratic equation: $4x^2-8x=3$  .

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3

• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3

• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3

• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

If the discriminant is zero you will have

• no real solutions
• two real solutions
• 1 real solution
• 1 imaginary solution

The discriminant is

• $ax^2+bx+c$
  

• $b-4ac$

• $b^2-4ac$

• $b^2+4ac$
  

If the discriminant is positive, then the solution will be

• one real solution
• two real solutions
• no real solutions
• one imaginary solution
