Key equations

 quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{{b}^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Key concepts

• Many quadratic equations can be solved by factoring when the equation has a leading coefficient of 1 or if the equation is a difference of squares. The zero-factor property is then used to find solutions. See [link] , [link] , and [link] .
• Many quadratic equations with a leading coefficient other than 1 can be solved by factoring using the grouping method. See [link] and [link] .
• Another method for solving quadratics is the square root property. The variable is squared. We isolate the squared term and take the square root of both sides of the equation. The solution will yield a positive and negative solution. See [link] and [link] .
• Completing the square is a method of solving quadratic equations when the equation cannot be factored. See [link] .
• A highly dependable method for solving quadratic equations is the quadratic formula, based on the coefficients and the constant term in the equation. See [link] .
• The discriminant is used to indicate the nature of the roots that the quadratic equation will yield: real or complex, rational or irrational, and how many of each. See [link] .
• The Pythagorean Theorem, among the most famous theorems in history, is used to solve right-triangle problems and has applications in numerous fields. Solving for the length of one side of a right triangle requires solving a quadratic equation. See [link] .

How do we recognize when an equation is quadratic?

It is a second-degree equation (the highest variable exponent is 2).

When we solve a quadratic equation, how many solutions should we always start out seeking? Explain why when solving a quadratic equation in the form $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a{x}^{2}+bx+c=0\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ we may graph the equation $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=a{x}^{2}+bx+c\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and have no zeroes ( x -intercepts).

When we solve a quadratic equation by factoring, why do we move all terms to one side, having zero on the other side?

We want to take advantage of the zero property of multiplication in the fact that if $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a\cdot b=0\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ then it must follow that each factor separately offers a solution to the product being zero:

In the quadratic formula, what is the name of the expression under the radical sign $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{b}^{2}-4ac,$ and how does it determine the number of and nature of our solutions?

Describe two scenarios where using the square root property to solve a quadratic equation would be the most efficient method.

One, when no linear term is present (no x term), such as $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{x}^{2}=16.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Two, when the equation is already in the form $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\left(ax+b\right)}^{2}=d.$

I know this work

The given of f(x=x-2. then what is the value of this f(3) 5f(x+1)
hmm well what is the answer
Abhi
how do they get the third part x = (32)5/4
can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?
hmm
Abhi
is it a question of log
Abhi
🤔.
Abhi
I rally confuse this number And equations too I need exactly help

algebra 2 Inequalities:If equation 2 = 0 it is an open set?
or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.
