Quadratics. Factoring. To solve a quadratic equation it must be equal to zero And the terms must be in order!! Use the HAVE – USE Chart sign in the problem signs in the (). Example. SOLVE x 2 – 2x – 8 = 0 Have - and - use + - (x – 4)(x + 2) = 0

Factoring • To solve a quadratic equation it must be equal to zero • And the terms must be in order!! • Use the HAVE – USE Chart sign in the problem signs in the ()
Example • SOLVE • x2 – 2x – 8 = 0 Have - and - use + - • (x – 4)(x + 2) = 0 Find the factors of 8 that subtract to give you 2 • (x – 4) = 0 (x + 2) = 0 Set each one equal to zero and solve • x = 4 x = -2
Quadratic Formula If you aren’t comfortable factoring, use the quadratic formula
Example • x2 – 2x – 8 = 0 • A = 1 B = - 2 C = -8
Solving from the answers • If all else fails substitute the possible answers from the multiple choice answers and determine which set of answers makes the equation true.
General form y = a func(bx – c) + d impacts width impacts movement neg means +/- +/- it is inverted left/right up/down |a| < 1 wide |a| >1 narrow
Example • Basic shape • y = x2 • Translated shape • y = 2(x-1)2 + 3 • y = 2(x-1)2 + 3 • y = 2(x-1)2 + 3 • y = 2(x-1)2 + 3
y = x y = x2 y = 1/x • y = x3 y = √x y = 1/x2 • y = log x y = ax
