  1. The Quadratic Formula Topic 7.3.1

  2. Topic 7.3.1 The Quadratic Formula California Standards: 19.0 Students know the quadratic formula and are familiar with its proof by completing the square. 20.0 Students use the quadratic formula to find the roots of a second-degree polynomial and to solve quadratic equations. What it means for you: You’ll use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations — and you’ll derive the quadratic formula itself. • Key words: • quadratic formula • completing the square

  3. Topic 7.3.1 The Quadratic Formula You can also use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations. It works every time.

  4. ax2 + bx + c = 0 (a¹ 0) Topic 7.3.1 The Quadratic Formula Quadratic Equations can be in Any Variable The standard form for a quadratic equation is: Any quadratic equation can be written in this form by, if necessary, rearranging it so that zero is on one side. A lot of the quadratic equations you will see may contain a variable other than x — but they are still quadratic equations like the one above, and can be solved in the same way.

  5. Topic 7.3.1 The Quadratic Formula Example 1 Find the solutions of the following quadratic equations:a) x2 – 4x + 3 = 0 b) y2 – 4y + 3 = 0 Solution a) Here, a = 1, b = –4, and c = 3. This equation factors to give (x – 3)(x – 1) = 0 So using the zero property:(x – 3) = 0 or (x – 1) = 0, or x = 3 or x = 1 Solution continues… Solution follows…

  6. Topic 7.3.1 The Quadratic Formula Example 1 Find the solutions of the following quadratic equations:a) x2 – 4x + 3 = 0 b) y2 – 4y + 3 = 0 Solution (continued) b) Here, the variable is y rather than x— but that does not affect the solutions. Againa = 1, b = –4, and c = 3, so it is the same equation as in a), and will have the same solutions: y = 3or y = 1 You can see that the two quadratic equations are really the same — only the variables have changed.

  7. Topic 7.3.1 The Quadratic Formula The Quadratic Formula Solves Any Quadratic Equation The solutions to the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are given by the quadratic formula: You can derive the formula by completing the square.
