1.  Solve by Completing the Square 1. x 2 - 4x + 7 = 0 2. x 2 + 8x = 2 3. x 2 - 2x = -9 (Save room, we have a reloop warm up next!)

2. 1. If 3x is one factor of 3x 2 – 9x, what is the other factor? 2. When x 2 – 9 and x 2 – 5x + 6 are factored, a common factor is what? 3. Factor completely 72a 3 b 4

4.  A radical expression contains a square root.  A radicand, the expression under the radical sign, is in simplest form if it contains no perfect square factors other than 1.  Using prime factorization we can simplify radical expressions. Radical or Square Root  Radicand

12.  On the half sheet… ◦ Simplify each radical, WITHOUT a calculator!  The first group done with ALL correct answers gets CANDY!

13.  Graphing –not always exact. need a graphing calculator to find exact values. don’t always have a solution.  Factoring – doesn’t always work. only use when factors are easy to find.  Quadratic Formula – always works and get exact values. need a 4-function calculator with a square root button to approximate.

15.  Standard Form of a Quadratic: ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0. Song 1: Frere Jacque --opposite b, opposite b --plus or minus square root --b squared minus 4ac --all over 2a, all over 2a Song 2: Pop Goes the Weasel x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac all over 2a

22.  We can determine the number of “real number” solutions by looking at part of the quadratic formula.  We will only concern ourselves with the “real” solutions. You will learn about the imaginary solutions later in your math career.

23.  The part of the quadratic formula containing the radical is called the discriminant. Quadratic FormulaDiscriminant
