Finding the Discriminant

The discriminant is

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

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

Determine the value of the discriminant and describe the number and type roots for the following:

x² + 7x + 13

• 101, 2 real roots

• 3, 2 real roots

• -101, 2 imaginary roots

• -3, 2 imaginary roots

Use the quadratic formula to solve 2x² + 2x - 12?

• -2, 3
• 2, 3
• 2, -3
• -2, -3

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

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

Solve using the quadratic formula...
9x² = 4 + 7x

• x = 2 and x = 3
• x = -1 and x = .25
• x = 1 and x = -.45
• x = 1.16, and x = -.38

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
