Setting Up the Quadratic Formula

If the discriminant is positive, then the quadratic has:

• Real Solution

• Real Solutions

• Half a Solution

• Imaginary Solution

Solve using the quadratic formula :

x² - 7x + 12 = 0

• x = 3, -4

• x = -3, 4

• x = 3, 4

• x = -3, -4

What is this formula?

• This is the speed of light formula.

• This is the quadratic formula.

• This is the zero product property.

• This is scary.

If b²-4ac is positive, the quadratic equation has:

• Two real solutions that are different

• Two imaginary solutions that are different

• One real solution

• One imaginary solution

If b²-4ac is negative, the quadratic equation has:

• Two real solutions that are different

• Two imaginary solutions that are different

• One real solution

• One imaginary solution

If b²-4ac is 0, the quadratic equation has:

• Two real solutions that are different

• Two imaginary solutions that are different

• One real solution

• One imaginary solution

What is the discriminant of the quadratic formula?

• b²-4a

• b²-4ac

• b-4ac

• b²-ac

Solve x² - 5x + 10 = 0

• (5 - i√15)/2  ,  (5 + i√15)/2

• (5 - √15)/2  ,  (5 + √15)/2

• (5 - i√65)/2  ,  (5 + i√65)/2

• (5 - √65)/2  ,  (5 + √65)/2

Solve -2x² + 4x = 9

• (2 - i√14)/2   ,   (2 + i√14)/2

• (2 - i√-56)/2   ,   (2 + i√-56)/2

• (2 - i√-14)/2   ,   (2 + i√-14)/2

• (2 - √14)/2   ,   (2 + √14)/2
