6. Guiding question: How are quadratic equations solved?

7. Solving Quadratic Equations Quadratics can be solved by factoring quadratic formula & graphing.

8. Solving Quadratics by Graphing Solve y = 2x 2 + 4x – 100 by graphing. Notice that the x-intercepts are not clear. Pres 2 nd CALC Select ‘zero’ Give a left bound Give a right bound Give a guess

9. Solving Quadratics by Graphing Yesterday we learned that a quadratic can have no solution, 1 solution or 2 solutions. Before we solve a quadratic equation we can tell how many solutions it will have by calculating the discriminant. The discriminant tells how many solutions a quadratic equation has.

10. The Discriminant of a Quadratic The discriminant of a quadratic is the result of B 2 – 4AC Where have you seen the discriminant? If B 2 – 4AC > 0, there are two solutions If B 2 – 4AC = 0, there is one solution If B 2 – 4AC < 0, there are no solutions

11. The Discriminant of a Quadratic Find the number of solutions of x 2 = -3x – 7. A = 1 B = 3 C = 7 B 2 – 4AC = 9 – 417 = 9 – 28 < 0 There will be no solution. TB pg 571 # 3 TB pg 572 # 32,34

12. Real-World Quadratics TB pg 572 # 22 When the ball hits the ground, its height will be... 0 So substitute y with 0! 0 = -0.004x 2 + x + 2.5 By the quadratic formula, x = -2.5 or 252.5 Since distance cannot be negative, 252.5 ft. PW 9-6 # 16,42
