For Solving When Factoring Won’t Work
The quadratic formula is used to solve quadratic equations when you cannot factor and solve using the roots.
This helpful formula works ALL the time but might not elicit an answer we can use (sometimes they are imaginary)

So What is this Wonder Formula?

Huh??
Well that’s great but where do we have ???
Our quadratic equations all have the form:
Therefore, is the leading coefficient, is the coefficient of the middle term, and is the constant.

AlgebraTHE DISCRIMINANT

What is the Discriminant?
The discriminant is the following expression:
b2-4ac(Hey that’s what is underneath
the radical in the quadratic formula!!)
![Page 10: Algebra QUADRATIC FORMULA. For Solving When Factoring Won’t Work The quadratic formula is used to solve quadratic equations when you cannot factor and](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649da95503460f94a9608a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Where do we find a,b and c?

b2-4ac

So what?? Why do we care?
The discriminant is used to determine if there is 2, 1 or no real solutions to an equation
![Page 12: Algebra QUADRATIC FORMULA. For Solving When Factoring Won’t Work The quadratic formula is used to solve quadratic equations when you cannot factor and](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649da95503460f94a9608a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How can it do that??
If the Discriminant EQUALS 0, then there is one real solution to the quadratic equation
If the Discriminant is GREATER THAN 0, then there are two real solutions to the quadratic equation
If the Discriminant is LESS THAN 0, then there are no real solutions to the quadratic equation (only imaginary ones ).

Example:How many solutions does the following
quadratic equation have?
This is GREATER THAN 0, therefore there are 2 Solutions

Example:How many solutions does the following
quadratic equation have?
This is LESS THAN 0, therefore there are No Solutions

Example:How many solutions does the following
quadratic equation have?
This is EQUALS 0, therefore there is One Solution
