2. Q UIZ : S OLVE BY USING THE QUADRATIC FORMULA

3. C AN YOU SIMPLIFY THE FORMULA ?

4. W HAT IF IT IS NOT IN STANDARD FORM ? 2x = 3x² + 5 (Hint: Remember what you do to the left you do to the right) 0 = 3x² + 2x + 5 a = ?, b = ?, c = ? a = 3, b = 2,c = 5

5. Y OUR T URN : Y = ax² + bx + c 0 = ax² + bx + c Define the values : a = ?, b = ?, c = ? 1. Y = 2 – 12x² + 3 2. 5x = 3x² - 5x + 1 3. Y = 3x + 4x² + 7

6. T HE EQUATIONS CAN RESULT IN MORE COMPLICATED ARITHMETIC

7. Y OUR T URN :

9. Y OUR T URN : U SE THE Q UADRATIC E QUATION TO SOLVE 5. y = x² - 16 6, y = x² - 2x Which one of the equations is in standard form? a) y = 2 (x – 4)² + 13 b) y = 5 ( x – 3)( x – 4) c) y = 5x² + 6x + 8

10. U SE THE QUADRATIC E QUATION TO SOLVE 8. y = x² - 4x + 4 (Solve using the quadratic equation) 9.Why does the equation only have 1 x-intercept? 10. What happened to the quadratic equation to have the equation produce 1 x – intercept?

11. Y OUR T URN : U SE THE QUADRATIC TO SOLVE 11. y = x² + 4x + 4 (Use the quadratic equation). 12. What are the x-intercepts of the parabola? Does it cross the x axis 13. What happened in the quadratic equation that made the x-intercepts different? What kind of x- intercepts are they?
