Solving Quadratics Formula

Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 8x = 3

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3
• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

Identify the 'c' value: y = 16x² -8x -24

• 16
• -8
• 24
• -24

4ac would equal:  y = 2x² -x -3

• -12
• 8
• -24
• -1

Solve    
2x² + 7x - 15 = 0

• -1.5 or 5
• No Solution
• -5 or 1.5
• 0.7 or 5

What should you do first in solving this equation?
x² + 6x - 13 = 3

• Get factored form
• Write down: a=1, b=6, c=-13
• Make it equal 0 by subtracting 3 on each side
• Type it all in a calculator.

In the equation
y = x² +5x +7, match each leading coefficient with its correct letter 

• a=0, b=5, c=7
• a=1, b=5, c=7
• a=7, b=5, c=1

The quadratic equation can be used to solve quadratic equations that cannot be factored.

• True
• False
