You now possess 5 methods to solve quadratic equations. They are:
C) Finding square roots
B) Completing the square
D) Creating a table of x/y values
A) Factoring
And thus, it is time. You have proven yourself and are ready for the awesome responsibility awaiting you..
You are about to acquire the ultimate weapon in your battle to slay the quadratic dragon.
Ladies & Gentlemen, the nuclear option, the peace maker, the final solution...
Beware though, it is wild and not easily tamed.
E) Graphing

**She’s beautiful, and she’s all yours
The Quadratic Formula:
![Page 5: April 15, 2014](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/559c977c1a28ab5a298b4807/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
.....Solves every quadratic equation, making ‘unsolvable’ a thing of the past.
Imaginary numbers are not covered until Algebra 2. This means that we still may have some equations that are unsolvable to us.
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

Solve the equation with the Quadratic Formula
2x2 – 5x – 3 = 0
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
![Page 7: April 15, 2014](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/559c977c1a28ab5a298b4807/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
EXAMPLE 1
x = 5 + 7
4
x = 12
4
x = 5 - 7
4
x = -2
4
x = 3
x = -1/2
![Page 8: April 15, 2014](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/559c977c1a28ab5a298b4807/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
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
![Page 9: April 15, 2014](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/559c977c1a28ab5a298b4807/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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

EXAMPLE 2
![Page 10: April 15, 2014](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/559c977c1a28ab5a298b4807/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
x = -7 ± 11
4
x = 44
x = 1x = -9/2
EXAMPLE 2
x = -7 - 114
x = -184
x = -7 + 114
![Page 11: April 15, 2014](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/559c977c1a28ab5a298b4807/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
x = -(1) ± √(1)2 – 4(1)(-1)
2(1)
LAST EXAMPLE
Solve x2 + x – 1 = 0
First we need to identify a, b & c
![Page 12: April 15, 2014](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/559c977c1a28ab5a298b4807/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PROBLEM 3
x = -(1) ± √(1)2 – 4(1)(-1)
2(1)
We can go no further since 5 can’t be squared.
x = -1 + √52
x = -1 - √52
LAST EXAMPLE
x = -1 ± √52
x = -1 ± √1+ 4
