Quadratic Characteristic

What is this formula?

• This is the speed of light formula.

• This is the quadratic formula.

• This is the zero product property.

• This is scary.

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

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.

Solve Using the Quadratic Formula
