Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 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

What is this formula?

• This is the speed of light formula.
• This is the quadratic formula.
• This is the zero product property.
• This is scary.

Solve using the quadratic formula.
2x² - 9x - 35 = 0

• x = 7/2, x = -6
• x = -5/2, x =5
• x = -3/7, x =6
• x = -5/2, x = 7

Solve using the Quadratic Formula:
x² + 4x + 3 = 0

• x = 1 and x = 3
• x = 6 and x = -2
• x = -1 and x = -3

Solve using the Quadratic Formula:

2x² + x - 4 = 0

• x = -¼ and x = -2

• x = 1.19 and x = -1.69

• x = 8 and x = -4

• x = 1.69 and x = 1.20
