Quadratic Formula

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 'b' value: y = 16x² -8x -24

• 16
• -8
• 8
• -24

The quadratic equation can be used to solve quadratic equations that cannot be factored.

• True
• False

What should you do first in solving this equation?
x² + 6x - 13 = 3

• Get factored form
• Write down: a=1, b=6, c=-13
• Make it equal 0 by subtracting 3 on each side
• Type it all in a calculator.

The discriminant is

• aX²  + bX  +  c
• b - 4ac
• b² - 4ac
• b² + 4ac

If the discriminant equals 0, then the quadratic has:

• 1 Real Solution
• 2 Real Solutions
• Half a Solution
• 2 Imaginary Solutions

If the discriminant is positive, then the quadratic has:

• 1 Real Solution
• 2 Real Solutions
• Half a Solution
• 2 Imaginary Solution

If the discriminant is negative, then the quadratic has:

• 1 Real Solution
• 2 Real Solutions
• Half a Solution
• 2 Imaginary Solutions
