Algebra 2cc Section 2.6 Solve quadratic equations using various methods
Methods for solving quadratic equations Square roots: There is no linear term x2 – 25 = 0 2. Factoring: try factoring x2 – 3x – 10 = 0 3. Complete the square: if the leading coefficient is 1 and the linear coefficient is even x2 – 6x – 3 = 0 4. Quadratic formula: if leading coefficient is not 1 and/or linear coefficient is odd. 2x2 + 7x – 1 = 0 Solve by the easiest method x2- 8x + 2 = 0
2
Solve and name the method used
3x2 + 5x – 11 = 0 x2 + 5x – 14 = 0
3
Solve and name the method used
½ x2 – 5 = 4 3(x-2)2 – 4 = 23
