Solving Quadratics LC > 1

2x² + 20x + 32

• unfactorable
• (2x+8)(x+2)
• (x+8)(2x+2)
• 2(x+8)(x+2)

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.

Convert x²-6x+9 to factored form and identify the solution.

• (x-3)(x-3); x=3
• (x+3)(x+3); x=-3
• (x+4)(x+2); x=-4, -2
• Not factorable

Convert x²-9x+20 to factored form and solve.

• (x-10)(x+2); x=-2, 10
• (x+4)(x+5); x=-5, -4
• (x-4)(x-5); x=4, 5
• Not factorable

solve:  
4x²+16x+15=0

• -5/2,-3/2
• (2x+5)(2x+3)
• -10,-6
• 5/2, 3/2

Solve by taking square roots:
4m² - 100 = 0

• m=25, -25
• m=96
