1. 9.4 Solving Quadratic Equations Standard Form: How do we solve this for x?

2. Ex 1) Solve for x: 2x 2 – 32 = 0

3. Ex 2) Solve for x: – x 2 + 5 = 0

4. Ex 3) Solve for x: x 2 – 72 = 0

5. Ex 4) Solve for x: 2x 2 + 7x = –3

6. Steps to solve by Factoring: 1)Rewrite in Standard Form 2)Factor 3)Use the Zero Product Property If ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0.

7. 3 Methods: 1)Isolate x 2, and take the Square Root 2) Factor, split, & solve 3)Use the Quadratic Formula
