Solving Equations by the Quadratic Formula and Quadratic Methods

QuestionAnswer
Solve x^2 - 8x + 14 = 0 using quadratic formula Use quadratic formula a = 1, b = -8, c = 14[x = -(-8)+/-√((-8)^2 -4(1)(4))/2(1)]. Use order of operations to simplify the quadratic formula[x=(8+/-√(64-56))/2 = (8+/-√8)/2]. Simplify the radical [x=(8+/-2√2)/2]. Reduce the problem[x=4+/-√2].
Solve -3x^2 +6x=-5 using quadratic formula Move 5 onto other side to make it equal to 0. Use quadratic formula[(-6+/-√6^2 -4(-3)(5))/2(-3)]. Use order of operations to simplify[(-6+/-√96)/-6]. Simplify the radical[(-6+/-4√6)/-6]. Reduce the problem[x=(3+/-2√6)/3].
Solve 2x^2 = 7x + 6 using quadratic formula Move 7x and 6 onto left side to make it equal to 0. Use quadratic formula [(-(-7)+/-√(-7)^2 -4(2)(-6))/2(2)]. Use order of operations to simplify[(7+/-√97)/4]. Simplify the radical, if you can. You can't in this problem, so the answer is x=(7+/-√97)/4.
Solve 3x^2 + 8 = -4x using quadratic formula Move -4x onto left side.Use quadratic formula[(-4+/-√462 -4(3)(8))/2(3)]. Simplify[(-4+/-√-80)/6]. Simplify radical, the root of a (-) # makes an imaginary #[(-4+/-4i√5)/6]. Complex #, so it must be written in a + bi form [-2/3 +/-(2√5)/3i].
Solve 6x^2 - 13x = 8 using quadratic formula Set equal to 0. Plug a,b,and c into quadratic formula. Use order of operations to simplify[(13+/-√361)/12]. Simplify the radical[(13+/-19)12]. No square roots, so solve for x. x=(13+19)/12 or (13-19)/12. x=8/3 or x=-1/2.
Solve x^2 + 5x = 24 using quadratic factoring method Write equation equal to 0[x^2 +5x-24=0]. Factor[(x+8)(x-3)=0]. Use Zero Product Property[x+8=0 or x-3=0]. Solve each equation[x=-8 or x=3].
Solve 9x^2 + 12 = 3 + 12x + 5x^2 using quadratic factoring method Write equation in standard form[4x^2 -12x+9=0]. Factor[(2x-3)(2x-3)=0]. Use Zero Product Property[2x-3=0]. Solve [x=3/2].
Solve x^2 - 16 = 0 using quadratic square root property method Get the perfect square on one side and the constant on the other side[x^2=16]. Use square root property to find square root of each side[√x^2=+/-√16]. Solve [x=+/-4].
Solve (x+1)^2 = 49 using quadratic square root property method Make sure there is a perfect square on one side and a constant on the other. Use the square root property to find the square root of each side[√(x+1)^2=+/-√49]. Solve[x+1=7 or x+1=-7] x=6 or x=-8
Solve x^2 + 12x + 2 = 0 using quadratic completing the square method Move constant to other side[x^2 +12x=-2]. Complete the square[x^2 +12x+36=-2+36<---{(12/2)^2=36}, (x+6)^2=34]. Use square root property[√(x+6)2=+/-√34, x+6=+/-√34]. Solve each resulting equation[x = -6+/-√34].

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
