Factoring and Quadratic Formula Practice Imaginary Numbers

What is the following called? b²- 4ac

• Axis of symmetry
• Quadratic Formula
• Vertex
• Discriminant

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 should you do first in solving this equation using the quadratic formula?
x² + 6x - 13 = 3

• Get factored form
• Write down: a=1, b=6, c=-13
• Make the equation equal 0 by subtracting 3 on each side
• Type it all in a calculator.

 2x² - x - 3 = 0
Find the discriminant.
