STARTS AT 3:15 PM
Quadratic Equations
Quadratic Equations are written in the
form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0.
Methods Used to
Solve Quadratic Equations
1. Square Root Property
2. Factoring
3. Completing the Square
4. Quadratic Formula
Why so many methods?
- Some methods will not work for
all equations.

- Some equations are much


easier to solve using a
particular method.

- Variety is the spice of life.


Square Root Property
This method is also relatively quick and easy;

however,

it only works for equations in which the quadratic


polynomial is written in the following form.

x = n or (x + c) = n
2 2
Square Root Property (Examples)
Example 1 Example 2 Example 3

2
x2 = 49 (x + 3)2 = 25 x – 5x + 11 = 0

2  49
( x  3)2  25 This equation is
• x not written in
the
• x=±7 x+3=±5 correct form to
x + 3 = 5 x + 3 = –5 use this
method.
x=2 x = –8
Factoring
Factoring is typically one of the easiest and quickest
ways to solve quadratic equations;

however,

not all quadratic polynomials can be factored.

This means that factoring will not work to solve many


quadratic equations.
Factoring (Examples)
•Example 1 Example 2
•x2 – 2x – 24 = 0 x2 – 8x + 11 = 0

•(x + 4)(x – 6) = 0 2
x – 8x + 11 is prime;
therefore, another
•x + 4 = 0 x–6=0 method must be used to
solve this equation.
• x = –4 x=6
Completing the Square
This method will work to solve ALL quadratic
equations;

however,

it is “messy” to solve quadratic equations by


completing the square if a ≠ 1 and/or b is an odd
number.

Completing the square is a great choice for solving


quadratic equations if a = 1 and b is an even number.
Completing the Square (Examples
•Example 1 Example 2

•a = 1, b is even a ≠ 1, b is not even


3x2 – 5x + 2 = 0
x 51
x2  5 x  2  0 6 6
•x2 – 6x + 13 = 0 3 3 OR

•x2 – 6x + 9 = –13 + 9 x2  5 x  25   2  25 x 51

• x = 3 ± 2i
Quadratic Formula
This method will work to solve ALL quadratic equations;

however,

for many equations it takes longer than some of the


methods discussed earlier.

The quadratic formula is a good choice if the quadratic


polynomial cannot be factored, the equation cannot be
written as (x+c)2 = n, or a is not 1 and/or b is an odd
number.
Quadratic Formula (Example)
