Quadratic Equations and Formulas

Example:

Method A Method B

( )( ) √

Sometimes, there aren’t two factors to solve using method a, we must instead use the quadratic formula, method b.

Examples:

√ √ √

√ √ √

The discriminant:

 Perfect Square? 2 Rational (R.R.R.)


 Positive? Perfect Square? 2 Irrational
 Zero? 1 Rational (R.R.R.)
 Negative? 2 Imaginary
