Quadratic Formula and Error Analysis

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions for

y = -x² - 5x + 12

• -4.9 and -0.1

• -8.54 and 8.54

• -0.45 and 3.55

• -6.77 and 1.77

The discriminant is

• ax² + bx + c

• b - 4ac

• b² - 4ac

• b² + 4ac

If the discriminant is positive but NOT a perfect square, then the quadratic has:

• 1 Rational Solution

• 2 Irrational Solutions

• 2 Rational Solutions

• 2 Complex Solutions

If the discriminant is negative, then the quadratic has:

• 1 Rational Solution

• 2 Rational Solutions

• 2 Irrational Solutions

• 2 Complex Solutions

Solve x² - 5x + 10 = 0

• (5 - i√15)/2  ,  (5 + i√15)/2
