SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
April 22, 2015
USING THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
WARM-UP
You now possess 5 methods to solve quadratic
equations. They are:
C) Finding square rootsB) Completing the square
D) Creating a table of x/y values
A) Factoring
And now, an important rite of passage from child to adult,
You are to receive the ultimate weapon in the quadratic wars.
With this, you can replace A-D above with this single method,
Presenting..
E) Graphing

**She’s beautiful, and she’s all yours
*The Quadratic Formula:
THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
.....Solves every quadratic equation, making ‘unsolvable’
a thing of the past.
However, some quadratics, such as x = −𝟏 are solved
with i, imaginary numbers.
Pro’s Cons
No figuring out what method
to use
Formula must be memorized
If used every time, solving will
be easier and faster
Must always be aware of signs
and order of operations
The first thing we need to do is to see if
this fits the first formula.
It does since it has the variable squared,
the coefficient and the constant all
equaling to zero.
Next we find the a, b & c and put them
into the second formula.
a = 2 b = -5 c = -3
SOLVE EQUATIONS WITH THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
2x2 – 5x – 3 = 0
EXAMPLE 1
x = 5 + 7
4
x = 12
4
x = 5 - 7
4
x = -2
4
x = 3
x = -1/2
Rearrange to standard form first
EXAMPLE 2
Solve 2x2 + 7x = 9
2x2 + 7x – 9 = 0
Identify the a, b & c and plug them in.
2x2 + 7x – 9 = 0
Now we identify the a, b & c and
place it in formula two. Then we
solve.
x = -(7) ± √(7)2 – 4(2)(-9)
2(2)
x = -7 ± √49 – (- 72)
4
x = -7 ± √121
4
x = -7 ± 11
4
EXAMPLE 2
x = -7 ± 11
4
x = 4
4
x = 1
x = -9/2
EXAMPLE 2
x = -7 - 11
4
x = -18
4
x = -7 + 11
4
x = -(1) ± √(1)2 – 4(1)(-1)
2(1)
LAST EXAMPLE
Solve x2 + x – 1 = 0
First we need to identify a, b & c
x = -(1) ± √(1)2 – 4(1)(-1)
2(1)
We can go no further since 5
can’t be squared.
x = -1 + √5
2
x = -1 - √5
2
x = -1 ± √5
2
x = -1 ± √1+ 4
