Best Way to Solve a Quadratic

Which of the 4 ways to solve quadratics do you think you will like the best?

Please explain.

The Area Model is used to change Factored Form into ________ .

• Standard Form

• Slope Intercept Form

• Quadratic Form

• Exponential Form

An example of Factored Form is:

• x² - x - 20

• (x - 5)(x + 4)

Factored Form, like 0 = (x - 5)(x + 4), can be solved using the Zero Product Property.

• True

• False

True or False:

0 = (x - 5)(x + 4)

has the solutions x = -5 and x = 4

• True

• False

True or False:

0 = (x - 5)(x + 4)

has the solutions x = 5 and x = -4

• True

• False

How many different ways are learning how to solve quadratic equations?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

The Quadratic Formula looks like a fraction, with "2a" as the denominator.

• True

• False

The "Factoring" method to solve quadratics starts next week.

• True

• False

Factoring works by changing Standard Form into Factored Form, because then we can use the Zero Product Property to solve it.

• True

• False
