Quadratic Formula Reference # 2, pp. 184 – 186 EP2: All forms of life are important (Empowerment)
Learning Targets: A. Find the roots of a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. B. Show positive attitude in dealing personal problems.
I. Concept Notes
Quadratic Formula
For any quadratic equation of the form are
ax 2 + bx + c = 0 , where a ≠ 0 the solutions
x=
− b ± b 2 − 4ac 2a
The quadratic formula gives us another technique to solve a quadratic equation. This method will work regardless of whether the equation is factorable or not factorable. Example: Directions: The column on the left shows the steps used to solve a problem using the quadratic formula. Use the column on the left to answer each question in the column on the right. PROBLEM: Solve by using the quadratic formula. What process will you use to solve the problem?
4x 2 + x = 2
Write in standard form. What is the standard form of the quadratic equation?
4x + x − 2 = 0
2
Find the values of a, b, and c.
a = 4, b = 1, c = −2
Explain how you know which value is a?
Substitute the values into the quadratic formula.
Write the quadratic formula.
x=
Simplify.
− (1) ± (1) 2 − 4(4)(−2) 2(4)
Explain what the symbol ± means.
x=
− 1 ± 1 − (−32) 8 − 1 ± 33 x= 8
II. Learning Experiences A. Test your Understanding Directions: Solve each quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. 1. - x2 = 5x + 8 2. - 9 x2– 8 = - 12x
