Quadratic Formula • The Quadratic Formula can be used for any quadratic equation. • You do not have to memorize it, just always know where to find it. • Be careful with the numbers and make sure you put them in the right place. • ax2 + bx + c = 0
Quadratic Formula a = 1 b = 3 c = 2 Plug in the numbers. Take care of the numbers under the radical. Then solve. • Let’s start with an easy one. • x2 + 3x + 2 = 0 • x = -1 and x = -2
Quadratic Formula a = 1 b = -5 c = 2 Plug in the numbers. Take care of the numbers under the radical. Then solve. • Try another one. • x2 - 5x + 2 = 0 • x = and x =
Quadratic Formula a = 2 b = -4 c = -3 Plug in the numbers. Take care of the numbers under the radical. Then solve. • And again….. • 2x2-4x - 3 = 0 • x =
Quadratic Formula a = 6 b = 2 c = 4 Plug in the numbers. Take care of the numbers under the radical. Then solve. • And again…. • 6x2 + 2x + 4 = 0 • x =
Quadratic Formula • Work these out in your notes! • 1. x2 + 3x – 4 = 0 • 2. 2x2 – 7x – 8 = 0 • 3. -2x2 + 3x – 4 = 0 • 4. x2 – 5x + 5 = 0 • 5. 5x2 – 15x – 17 = 0
