Quadratic Formula and Error Analysis

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

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions for

y = -x² - 5x + 12

• -4.9 and -0.1

• -8.54 and 8.54

• -0.45 and 3.55

• -6.77 and 1.77

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 - 9x - 35 = 0

• x = 7/2, x = -6
• x = -5/2, x =5
• x = -3/7, x =6
• x = -5/2, x = 7

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.

Identify the 'b' value: y = 16x² -8x -24

• 16
• -8
• 8
• -24

Solve     8x² - 6x + 1 = 0

• No Solution
• 0 or 1
• -0.5 or -0.25
• 0.25 or 0.5

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions for
y = 2x² - 9x + 5

• -8.14 and -6.14
• 4.07 and 3.07
• 3.85 and 0.65
• ZERO solutions

Factor: x² – 5x – 24

• (x - 5)(x + 19)
• (x - 8)(x + 3)
• (x - 3)(x + 8)
• (x - 19)(x + 5)

The quadratic equation can be used to solve quadratic equations that cannot be factored.

• True
• False
