Math 100 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

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.

Solve    2x² + 7x - 15 = 0

• -1.5 or 5
• No Solution
• -5 or 1.5
• 0.7 or 5

Solve using the Quadratic Formula:

2x² + x - 4 = 0

• x = -¼ and x = -2

• x = 1.19 and x = -1.69

• x = 8 and x = -4

• x = 1.69 and x = 1.20

Identify a, b, and c in: x²−6x+14

• 3,5,9
• 1,-6,14
• 1,-6,-14
• 1,6,14

Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 8x = 3
*remember right side should =0

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3
• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

• x = -2

• x = 2

• no real solution

• x = -2 and 2

• a = 2 , b = 3, c = -5

• a = 2, b = -3, c = 5

• a = 2, b = -3, c = -5

• a = -2, b = 3, c = 5

• Square root

• Quadratic formula

• X-intercepts

• Discriminant 

• x = 7 and -2

• x = 7 and 2

• x = -7 and -2

• x = -7 and 2
