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

Factor
k²+7x+10

• (k+2)(k+5)

• (k-2)(k-5)

• (k+10)(k+4)

• (k+2)(k-5)

Factor
9x²-6x-8

• (3x+2)(3x-4)

• (3x+2)(3x+4)

• (3x-2)(3x-4)

• (x-1)(9x+8)

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.
