Solve Quadratics Using Square Root Method and Factoring

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 is this?

• This is the speed of light formula.

• This is the quadratic formula.

• This is the zero product property.

• This is scary.
