ax²+bx+c=0  is the standard form of a quadratic equation.

• True
• False

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

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

Solve by factoring: x² = 7x + 18

• -7 and -18

• 9 and 2

• 9 and -2

• 2 and 7

Solve Using the Quadratic Formula
 x² + 4x - 40 = -8

• -10 & -4
• -4 & 10
• -8 & 4
• 8 & -4

Solve by the Extraction of Roots method: x² = 16

• ± 4

• ± 8

• 4

• 8

What is the first step to solving THIS equation by completing the square?
a² + 10a + 21 = 0

• Set the equation equal to zero
• Divide 10 by 2 and add the result to both sides
• Add a² and 10a together
• Subtract the 21
