TRANSCRIPT

Many quadratic equations can not be solved by factoring. Other techniques are required to solve them.

8.1 – Solving Quadratic Equations

x2 = 20 5x2 + 55 = 0

Examples:

( x + 2)2 = 18 ( 3x – 1)2 = –4

x2 + 8x = 1 2x2 – 2x + 7 = 0

22 5 0x x 44 2 xx

If b is a real number and if a2 = b, then a = ±√¯‾.

20

8.1 – Solving Quadratic EquationsSquare Root Property

b

x2 = 20

x = ±√‾‾

x = ±√‾‾‾‾4·5

x = ± 2√‾ 5 –11

5x2 + 55 = 0

x = ±√‾‾‾

5x2 = –55

x2 = –11

x = ± i√‾‾‾11

If b is a real number and if a2 = b, then a = ±√¯‾.

18

8.1 – Solving Quadratic EquationsSquare Root Property

b

( x + 2)2 = 18

x + 2 = ±√‾‾

x + 2 = ±√‾‾‾‾9·2

x +2 = ± 3√‾ 2

x = –2 ± 3√‾ 2

–4

( 3x – 1)2 = –4

3x – 1 = ±√‾‾

3x – 1 = ± 2i

3x = 1 ± 2i

8.2 – Solving Quadratic EquationsThe Quadratic Formula and the Discriminate

The discriminate is the radicand portion of the quadratic formula (b2 – 4ac).

It is used to discriminate among the possible number and type of solutions a quadratic equation will have.

b2 – 4ac Name and Type of SolutionPositive

Zero

Negative

Two real solutions

One real solutions

Two complex, non-real solutions
