Section 6.5: Quadratic Formula

What is the quadratic equation?


Is a formula that allows us to find the roots or solutions of any quadratic equation of the form: ax²+bx+c =0.

x=
b  b 2  4ac , where a  0.
2a
Where does it come from? Consider ax² + bx + c = 0.
Complete the square.

Key Concept: Analyzing the discriminate in a quadratic equation. D = b² - 4ac
The Value of the Discriminant can be used to determine the number and type of roots of a quadratic equation.

Value Number of solutions Type of solution Example

D=0 1 Real and Rational -1, 2, ¾, 0…

D<0 2 Complex / Imaginary 2i, -6i, i…

D>0 2 If D is a perfect square then: Real and rational 11,-2/3, 0…


If D is not a perfect square: Real and irrational 2 3 , 11...

Directions: For each quadratic equation


a.) Find the value of the discriminant
b.) Describe the number and type of roots
c.) Find the exact solutions by using the Quadratic Formula

Ex1. x²-12x = 28 St1a. 9x2 -12x + 4 =0 St1b. x²+8x -4=0
