5.5 Quadratic Formula

Warm-up (IN)

Learning Objective: To use the quadratic formula to find real roots of quadratic equations and to use the roots to find the axis of symmetry of the

parabola

Evaluate the expression for the given values of a, b, and c.

1. a=1, b=3, c=-12. a=2, b=-2, c=03. a=-1, b=0, c=54. a=-2, b=2, c=-3
