Solving Quadratic Equations Using the Quadratic Formula MA.912.A.7.2 Solve quadratic equations over the real numbers by factoring and by using the quadratic formula.
2
The Quadratic Formula The solutions of a quadratic equation written in Standard Form, ax 2 + bx + c = 0, can be found by Using the Quadratic Formula. Click on the link below to view a song to help you memorize it. http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/math/algtrig/ATE3/quadsongs.htm
3
Deriving the Quadratic Formula by Completing the Square. Divide both sides by “a”. Subtract constant from both sides.
4
Deriving the Quadratic Formula by Completing the Square. Complete The Square Factor the Perfect Square Trinomial Simplify expression on the left side by finding the LCD
5
Deriving the Quadratic Formula by Completing the Square. Take the square root of both sides Solve absolute value/ Simplify radical
