Solutions to Quadratic Formula

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.

The discriminant is

• ax² + bx + c

• b - 4ac

• b² - 4ac

• b² + 4ac

If the discriminant equals 0, then the quadratic has:

• 1 Rational Solution

• 2 Rational Solutions

• No solutions

• 2 Complex Solutions

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

• -5i
• 5
• 5i
• -5

Use the quadratic formula to solve 2x² + 2x - 12.

• -2, 3

• 2, 3

• 2, -3

• -2, -3

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

Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 8x = 3
*remember right side should =0

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3

• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3

• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3

• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3
