Quadratic Formula & the Discriminant Flip Notes Another way to solve a quadratic:
ax² + bx + c = 0 • The a, b, and c in the standard form of a quadratic equation corresponds to the a, b, and c in the quadratic formula. • a is the coefficient of the quadratic term, b is the coefficient of the linear term, and c is the constant term Flip Notes
Flip Notes Example What are the a, b, and c? 2x² + 3x + 4 = 0 a = 2 b = 3 c = 4 Remember: ax² + bx + c = 0
Flip Notes The Discriminant • The part of the formula under the square root is called the discriminant. • By solving this part of the formula only, not the radical, the number of roots, solutions or zeros can be found. 2 real solutions b² - 4ac > 0 1 double real root solution b² - 4ac = 0 2 imaginary solutions b² - 4ac < 0
Example How many solutions are there? 2x² + 3x + 4 = 0 a=2, b = 3, c = 4 (3)² - 4(2)(4) = 9 - 32 = -23 Answer: no real solution since -23 < 0 2 imaginary solutions **Discriminant formula: b²-4ac

Solve quadratic inequalities for x: Work with a partner. You have 5 minutes to solve this problem. To earn bragging rights you have to show your method of solving vs. just a guess and check. Show your teacher and you will be directed to show your method on the marker boards and other groups then have to use a new method.
