Solving Using the Quadratic Formula
Each time we solve by completing the square, the procedure is the same. In mathematics, when a procedure is repeated many times, a formula can often be developed to speed up our work.
If we begin with a quadratic equation in standard form, ax2 + bx + c = 0, and solve by completing the square we arrive at the quadratic formula.

Example
Solution
Solve 3x2 + 5x = 2 using the quadratic formula.
First determine a, b, and c:
3x2 + 5x – 2 = 0
a = 3, b = 5, and c = –2.

Approximating Solutions
When the solution of an equation is irrational, a rational-number approximation is often useful. This is often the case in real-world applications similar to those found in section 8.3.
