Using the Quadratic Formula
The Quadratic formula is used to solve quadratic equations. The quadratic is
. Though is is effective there's a chance it will not factor out nicely and you'll
have to do the quadratic formula. Sometimes it's easier to use it in the first place.
Solve:
1. youll want to put the equation above into the formula.

2.
3.well want to simplify as much as we can (no don't do the square root, simplify what's inside).
The negatives will cancel on the eight. (-8)^2 will equal 64. 4(2)(.24) comes out to be -192. And
finally 2(2) is 4.
5. We simplify more.
6. the square root of 256 is 16. Once here we can divide 4/16
and 8/4 giving us 2 and 4. To get our two roots we add 2 and 4 then subtract.
is our answer.

completing the puzzle we are left with something that is and from there we can
find the roots of the function. Also another way the quadratic formula is useful is with finding the
roots of polynomials. The quadratic formula is also great since it can find complex roots that
don't show up on the X- axis.
Applying the quadratic formula to everyday things is simple. As simple as
throwing a ball,
