  1. The quadratic formula is Quadratic Equation: Solving Using the Quadratic Formula Here, a, b, and c refer to the numbers when the quadratic is in standard form, ax2 + bx + c = 0. Example: Solve 2x2 + 4x = 1. First, put the equation in standard form. 2x2 + 4x – 1 = 0 Next, substitute the values a = 2, b = 4, and c = -1 into the formula.

  2. These are the exact solutions. Approximate solutions can be found by separately evaluating and to get approximately - 2.225 and 0.225. Quadratic Equation: Solving Using the Quadratic Formula Next, simplify. Slide 2
