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

Solve using the quadratic formula.
2x² - 9x - 35 = 0

• x = 7/2, x = -6

• x = -5/2, x =5

• x = -3/7, x =6

• x = -5/2, x = 7

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.

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
