Ch8 Quadratic Equation Solving Methods
General Form of Quadratic Equation
ax2 + bx + c = 0
A quadratic Equation: x2 – 7x + 10 = 0 a = _____ b = _____ c = ______
Methods & Tools for Solving Quadratic Equations• Factor • Apply zero product principle (If AB = 0 then A = 0 or B = 0)• Square root method• Completing the Square• Quadratic Formula
Example1: Example 2:x2 – 7x + 10 = 0 4x2 – 2x = 0(x – 5) (x – 2) = 0 2x (2x –1) = 0x – 5 = 0 or x – 2 = 0 2x=0 or 2x-1=0 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 2 2 2 +1 +1
2x=1x = 5 or x = 2 x = 0 or x=1/2

8.1 Square Root Method
Solving a Quadratic Equation with the Square Root MethodExample 1: Example 2:4x2 = 20 (x – 2)2 = 64 4
x – 2 = +6 x2 = 5 + 2 + 2
x = + 5 x = 2 + 6
So, x = 5 or - 5 So, x = 2 + 6 or 2 - 6
You try one. What is different about this one? : 2x2 + 1 = 0
Completing the Square
If x2 + bx is a binomial then by adding b 2 which is the square of half 2
the coefficient of x, a perfect square trinomial results:
x2 + bx + b 2 = x + b 2

Solving a quadratic equation with ‘completing the square’ method.
Example: Step1: Isolate the Binomialx2 - 6x + 2 = 0 -2 -2 Step 2: Find ½ the coefficient of x (-3 )x2 - 6x = -2 and square it (9) & add to both sides.x2 - 6x + 9 = -2 + 9(x – 3)2 = 7x – 3 = + 7
x = (3 + 7 ) or (3 - 7 )
Note: If the coefficient of x2 is not 1 you must divide by the coefficient of x2 beforecompleting the square. ex: 3x2 – 2x –4 = 0(Must divide by 3 before taking ½ coefficient of x)
Step 3: Apply square root method
8.2 Quadratic FormulaGeneral Form of Quadratic Equation: ax2 + bx + c = 0
Quadratic Formula: x = -b + b2 – 4ac discriminant: b2 – 4ac 2a if 0, one real solution if >0, two unequal real solutions if <0, imaginary solutionsSolving a quadratic equation with the ‘Quadratic Formula’
2x2 – 6x + 1= 0 a = ______ b = ______ c = _______
x = - (-6) + (-6)2 – 4(2)(1) 2(2)
= 6 + 36 –8 4
= 6 + 28 = 6 + 27 = 2 (3 + 7 ) = (3 + 7 ) 4 4 4 2

Do you know what an axis of symmetry is?
Quadratic Functions & Graphs
y = x2 - 2

Vertex
Notice this graph is shifted down 2 from the origin.Y = x2 – k (shifts the graph down k units)Y = x2 + k (shifts the graph up k units)
To shift the graph to the right or to the left y = (x – h)2 (shifts the graph to the right)
y = (x + h)2 (shifts the graph to the left)

Convert from Vertex Form to Standard Form
Vertex Form: y = 2(x + 2)2 + 1
To change to standard form, perform multiplication, add, and combine like terms.
y = 2 (x + 2) (x + 2) + 1
y = 2 (x2 + 2x + 2x + 4) + 1
y = 2 (x2 + 4x + 4) + 1
y = 2x2 + 8x + 8 + 1
y = 2x2 + 8x + 9 (Standard Form)
Convert from Standard Form to Vertex Form
(Completing the Square – Example 1)
Example 1: y = x2 –6x – 1 (Standard Form) (b/2)2 = (-6/2)2 = (-3)2 = 9
y = (x2 –6x + 9) – 1 -9
y = (x – 3) (x – 3) – 1 – 9
y = (x – 3)2 – 10 (Vertex Form)
Step 1: Check the coefficient of the x2 term. If 1 goto step 2 If not 1, factor out the coefficient from x2 and x terms.
Step 2: Calculate the value of : (b/2)2
Step 3: Group the x2 and x term together, then add (b/2)2 and subtract (b/2)2
Step 4: Factor & Simplify
Convert from Standard Form to Vertex Form
(Completing the Square – Example 2)
Example 2: y = 2x2 +4x – 1 (Standard Form) y = 2( x2 + 2x) –1 (2/2)2 = (1)2 = 1
y = 2(x2 +2x + 1) – 1 -2 (WHY did we subtract 2 instead of 1?)
y = 2(x + 1) (x + 1) – 1 – 2
y = 2(x + 1)2 – 3 (Vertex Form)
Step 1: Check the coefficient of the x2 term. If 1 goto step 2 If not 1, factor out the coefficient from the x2 and x term.
Step 2: Calculate the value of : (b/2)2
Step 3: Group the x2 and x term together, then add (b/2)2 and subtract (b/2)2

An Application
Height of a picture = XLength of picture = X + 5The frame is 3 inches thick on all sides.
If the overall area of the picture and frame is 336 sq inches,find the dimensions (height and length) of the picture. 3 in.
3 in
3 3 x
x + 5
Arearectangle = Length x Height
Length = x + 5 + 6 = x + 11Height = x + 6
336 = (x + 6) (x+11)336 = x2 +11x +6x +66, so, x2 +17x – 270 = 0 (x – 10) (x + 27) = 0 x = 10 or x = -27
So, the picture is 10 inches by 15 inches
