Intro to Quadratic Formula and The Discriminant

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

In the equation
y = x² +5x +7, match each leading coefficient with its correct letter 

• a=0, b=5, c=7
• a=1, b=5, c=7
• a=7, b=5, c=1

What should you do first in solving this equation?

x² + 6x - 13 = 3

• Factor

• Write down: a = 1, b = 6, c = -13

• Subtract 3 from both sides.

• Add 3 to both sides.

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.

If the graph of a quadratic does not intercept the x-axis at any point, then it has:

• 1 Real Solution
• 2 Real Solutions
• Half a Solution
• No Real Solution

The discriminant is

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