THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
1. When you solve using completing the square on the general formula you get:
2. This is the quadratic formula!3. Just identify a, b, and c then substitute
into the formula.

WHY USE THE QUADRATIC FORMULA?
The quadratic formula allows you to
solve ANY quadratic equation, even if
you cannot factor it.
An important piece of the quadratic
formula is what’s under the radical:
b2 – 4ac
This piece is called the discriminant.
![Page 6: Bell Work 3/9/15 Solve for variables. 1. 3X 2 - 75 = 0 2. w 2 =64 3. (W+3) 2 =20](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072011/56649de75503460f94ae15a4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHY IS THE DISCRIMINANT IMPORTANT?
The discriminant tells you the number and types of
answers
(roots) you will get. The discriminant can be +, –, or 0
which actually tells you a lot! Since the discriminant is
under a radical, think about what it means if you have a
positive or negative number or 0 under the radical.

WHAT THE DISCRIMINANT TELLS YOU!
Value of the Discriminant
Nature of the Solutions
Negative 2 imaginary solutions
Zero 1 Real Solution
Positive – perfect square
2 Reals- Rational
Positive – non-perfect square
2 Reals- Irrational
