SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS BY the quadratic formula

Multiple Choice

Which is the general form of a quadratic equation?

$y=mx+b$

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$\left(x-a\right)\left(x-b\right)=0$

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

We will need the general form in order to use the quadratic formula

Example

Multiple Choice

Use the quadratic formula to solve 2x² + 2x - 12?

x = -2, 3

x = 2, 3

x = 2, -3

x = -2, -3

Multiple Choice

Solve using the quadratic formula.
$2x^2-9x-35=0$

$x=\frac{7}{2},\ x=-6$

$x=-\frac{5}{2},\ x=5$

$x=-\frac{3}{7},\ x=6$

$x=-\frac{5}{2},\ x=7$

Multiple Choice

Solve $2x2+7x-15=0$

x = -1.5 or 5

No Solution

x = -5 or 1.5

x = 0.7 or 5
