Solving Quadratics by Using the Quadratic Formula

• -5x

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.

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

Identify the values of A, B, and C

5x² + x - 18 = - 9x + 3x²

• A=2, B=10, C=-18

• A=5, B=1, C=-18

• A=8, B=-8, C=-18

• A=2, B=9, C=-18

b² would equal: y = 2x² -x -3

• 2

• -1

• 1

• -3

Solve 2x² + 7x - 15 = 0

• -3/2 or 5

• No Solution

• -5 or 3/2

• 0.7 or 5
