Warmups Factor

11-3 Quadratic Formula Objective: To solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula.

Solve by factoring  Wait a minute… HOLD UP... We can’t factor this!  Are there roots?  Let’s check with the graph:  Axis of symmetry?  Vertex?  Up or down?

Vocab We solve a QUADRATIC EQUATION to find ax 2 + bx + c = 0 the ROOTS by graphing a x-intercepts. QUADRATIC FUNCTION y = ax 2 + bx + c or using the QUADRATIC FORMULA

What is the Quadratic Formula? x = 2a at 2 am. -b±√(b 2 - 4ac ) A negative Boycouldn’t decide whether or not to go to a radical party. The Boy was square so he couldn’t get four Awesome Chicks. It was all over YOU MUST MEMORIZE THIS!!!

Song time!!!

Example 1 2x 2 + 7x – 15 = 0 a = b = c =

Example 2 3n 2 – 8n – 2 = 0 a = b = c =

Example 3 y 2 – 6y + 9 = 0 a = b = c =

Example 4 3x 2 – x + 3 = 0 a = b = c = No real roots
