MATH 2201 CHAPTER 7 - QUADRATIC EQUATIONS Section 7.3 The Quadratic Formula
Learning Goals for Section 7.3 Use the quadratic formula to determine the roots of a quadratic equation.Some tools that can help you: • graphing calculator • https://www.desmos.com/calculator
Introduction The quadratic formula determines the roots of a quadratic equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0.

Example A store rents an average of 750 video games each month at the current rate of $4.50. The owner of the store wants to raise the rental rate to increase the revenue to $6000 per month. However, for every $1 increase, they know that they will rent 30 fewer games each month. The following function relates the price increase, p, to the revenue, r: (4.5 + p)(750 – 30p) = r How many dollars will the owner have to increase the price by in order to reach this $6000 revenue?
Example A landscaper is designing a rectangular garden, which will be 5.oo m wide by 6.25 m long. She has enough crushed rock to cover an area of 6.0 m² and wants to make a uniform border around the garden. How wide should the border be, if she wants to use all the crushed rock?
Summary • The roots of a quadratic equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0, can be determined by using the quadratic formula:
Summary • The quadratic formula can be used to solve any quadratic equation, even if the equation is not factorable • Sometimes the roots can be simplified to nice, neat answers • Sometimes we need to give the roots as an exact value because they can not be simplified
