Solving Quadratics-Choosing a Strategy
Learning Target: I can choose the most efficient method to solve quadratics

2
Methods to Solve Quadratics
Zero Product Property (area model & diamond)
Complete the square (rewrite into perfect square form)
Quadratic formula (evaluate with a, b, and c values)
3
Poll
Which method are you MOST confident with?
Factoring
Complete the Square
The Quadratic Formula
4
Poll
Which method are you LEAST confident with?
Factoring
Complete the Square
The Quadratic Formula
5
Multiple Choice
Which option shows what quadratics in standard form look like?
y=ax +bx2+c
y=ax2+bx+c
y=a +bx+cx2
y=ax2+b+cx
6
Zero Product Property
Must equal 0
Works for SOME quadratics
Use when numbers are the smaller & easily factorable
7
Multiple Choice
Use Zero Product Property to solve
x2 + 2x - 15 = 0
x = 3 or x = 5
x = 5 or x = -3
x = -5 or x = 3
x = -3 or x = -5
8
Complete the Square
Use this when a, the coefficient of x2 , is 1
Best when b, the coefficient of x, is even
9
Multiple Choice
x2 + 12x = 5
10
The Quadratic Formula
x=2a−b±b2−4ac
Works for ALL quadratics
Great for quadratics with large coefficients
Must equal 0
11
Multiple Choice
Determine the values of a, b, and c for the quadratic equation:
4x2 – 8x = 3
a = 4, b = -8, c = 3
a = 4, b =-8, c =-3
a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
a = 4, b = 8, c = -3
12
Multiple Choice
Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions for
y = -x2 - 5x + 12
No Real Solution
13
