Quadratic Equation: An equation that can be written in the standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0. Where a, b and c are real numbers and "a" does not = 0.
Vertex: The highest or lowest point on a parabola.
Zero of a Function: An x value that makes the y value equal to zero.

EquationsReturn to Table of Contents
Slide 8 / 178
A quadratic equation is an equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 , where "a" is not equal to 0.
The form ax 2 + bx + c = 0 is called the standard form of the quadratic equation.
The standard form is not unique. For example, x2 - x + 1 = 0 can be written as the equivalent equation -x2 + x - 1 = 0.
Also, 4x2 - 2x + 2 = 0 can be written as the equivalent equation 2x2 - x + 1 = 0. Why is this equivalent?

The graph of a quadratic is a parabola, a u-shaped figure.
The parabola will open upward or downward.
← upward→downward
Slide 14 / 178
A parabola that opens upward contains a vertex that is a minimum point. A parabola that opens downward contains a vertex that is a maximum point.

The domain of a quadratic function is all real numbers.
Slide 16 / 178
To determine the range of a quadratic function, ask yourself two questions: Is the vertex a minimum or maximum? What is the y-value of the vertex?
If the vertex is a minimum, then the range is all real numbers greater than or equal to the y-value.
The range of this quadratic is -6 to
Slide 17 / 178
If the vertex is a maximum, then the range is all real numbers less than or equal to the y-value.
The range of this quadratic is to 10
Slide 18 / 178
An axis of symmetry (also known as a line of symmetry) will divide the parabola into mirror images. The line of symmetry is always a vertical line. It is found using the following equation:
x=2
Slide 19 / 178
To find the axis of symmetry simply plug the values of a and b into the equation: Remember the form ax 2 + bx + c. In this example a = 2, b = -8 and c =2

The x-intercepts are the points at which a parabola intersects the x-axis. These points are also known as zeroes, roots or solutions and solution sets. Each quadratic equation will have two, one or no real x-intercepts.

Solving Quadratic Equationsby Factoring
Review of factoring - To factor a quadratic trinomial of the form x2 + bx + c, find two factors of c whose sum is b.
Example - To factor x 2 + 9x + 18, look for factors whose sum is 9.Factors of 18 Sum
1 and 18 19
2 and 9 11
3 and 6 9 x 2 + 9x + 18 = (x + 3)(x + 6)
Slide 79 / 178
When c is positive, its factors have the same sign.
The sign of b tells you whether the factors are positive or negative.
When b is positive, the factors are positive.When b is negative, the factors are negative.

1. Multiply the F irst terms (x + 3)(x + 2) x x = x 2
2. Multiply the O uter terms (x + 3)(x + 2) x 2 = 2x 3. Multiply the Inner terms (x + 3)(x + 2) 3 x = 3x
4. Multiply the Last terms (x + 3)(x + 2) 3 2 = 6

Solving quadratic equations by completing the square:
Step 1 - Write the equation in the form x 2 + bx = c
Step 2 - Find (b ÷ 2)2
Step 3 - Complete the square by adding (b ÷ 2)2 to both sides of the equation.
Step 4 - Factor the perfect square trinomial.
Step 5 - Take the square root of both sides
Step 6 - Write two equations, using both the positive and negative square root and solve each equation.

Let's look at an example to solve:
x2 + 14x = 15 Step 1 - Already done!
(14 ÷ 2)2 = 49 Step 2 - Find (b÷2) 2
x2 + 14x + 49 = 15 + 49 Step 3 - Add 49 to both sides
(x + 7)2 = 64 Step 4 - Factor and simplify
x + 7 = ±8 Step 5 - Take the square root of both sides
x + 7 = 8 or x + 7 = -8 Step 6 - Write and solve two equationsx = 1 or x = -15
x2 + 14x = 15
Slide 111 / 178
Another example to solve: x 2 - 2x - 2 = 0 x2 - 2x - 2 = 0 Step 1 - Write as x 2+bx=c +2 +2x2 - 2x = 2
(-2 ÷ 2)2 = (-1)2 = 1 Step 2 - Find (b÷2)2
x2 - 2x + 1 = 2 + 1 Step 3 - Add 1 to both sides
(x - 1)2 = 3 Step 4 - Factor and simplify
x - 1 = ± √3 Step 5 - Take the square root of both sides
x - 1 = √3 or x - 1 = -√3 Step 6 - Write and solve two equationsx = 1 + √3 or x = 1 - √3

Solve Quadratic Equations by Using
the Quadratic Formula
Slide 118 / 178
At this point you have learned how to solve quadratic equations by:· graphing· factoring· using square roots and · completing the square
Today we will be given a tool to solve ANY quadratic equation.
It ALWAYS works.
Many quadratic equations may be solved using these methods; however, some cannot be solved using any of these methods.
Slide 119 / 178
The Quadratic Formula
The solutions of ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0, are:
"x equals the opposite of b, plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac, all divided by 2a."

or
Slide 122 / 178
Example 2 2x = x 2 - 3
Remember - In order to use the Quadratic Formula, the equation must be in standard form (ax 2 + bx +c = 0).
First, rewrite the equation in standard form.
-2x -2x
0 = x 2 + (-2x) + (-3)
x 2 + (-2x) + (-3) = 0 Flip the equation
Use only addition for standard form
Now you are ready to use the Quadratic Formula

The Discriminant
Return to Table of Contents
Slide 133 / 178
x = - b ± √ b 2 -4 ac 2 a
Discriminant - the part of the equation under the radical sign in a quadratic equation.
b 2 - 4 ac is the discriminant
Slide 134 / 178
ax2 + bx + c = 0
The discriminant, b2 - 4ac, or the part of the equation under the radical sign, may be used to determine the number of real solutions there are to a quadratic equation.
If b 2 - 4ac > 0 , the equation has two real solutionsIf b 2 - 4ac = 0 , the equation has one real solutionIf b 2 - 4ac < 0 , the equation has no real solutions

The square root of a positive number has two solutions.
The square root of zero is 0.
The square root of a negative number has no real solution.

The product of two consecutive negative integers is 1,122. What are the numbers?
Remember that consecutive integers are one unit apart, so the numbers are n and n + 1.
Multiplying to get the product:n(n + 1) = 1122 n2 + n = 1122 n2 + n - 1122 = 0 (n + 34)(n - 33) = 0
n = -34 and n = 33.
The solution is either -34 and -33 or 33 and 34, since the direction ask for negative integers -34 and -33 are the correct pair.

When solving applied problems that lead to quadratic equations, you might get a solution that does not satisfy the physical constraints of the problem.
For example, if x represents a width and the two solutions of the quadratic equations are -9 and 1, the value -9 is rejected since a width must be a positive number.
