Solving Quadratics

Solve
4m² - 100 = 0

• m=25, -25
• m=96
• m=5, -5
• m=-96

Solve
a² + 2a - 24 = 0

• a = -6, 4
• a = 6, -4
• a = 12, -2
• a = 8, -3

Solve
2x² + 17x + 21 = 0

• x= ^-21/₂, -17
• x= ²/₃, 16
• x=-7, ^-3/₂
• x=15, -³/₇

Solve by taking square roots:
k² - 6 = 43

• k = √37
• k = 37 or - 37
• k = 7, k = -7
• no solution

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

Identify the 'a' value: y = 16x² -8x -24

• 16
• 8
• -8
• -24

Identify the 'b' value: y = 16x² -8x -24

• 16
• -8
• 8
• -24

Identify the 'c' value: y = 16x² -8x -24

• 16
• -8
• 24
• -24

b² - 4ac would equal: y = 2x² -x -3

• 25
• -23
• -25
• 0
