Quadratic Formula

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

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 x² - 5x + 10 = 0

• (5 - i√15)/2  ,  (5 + i√15)/2
• (5 - √15)/2  ,  (5 + √15)/2
• (5 - i√65)/2  ,  (5 + i√65)/2
• (5 - √65)/2  ,  (5 + √65)/2

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
