Definition of a Quadratic Equation
A quadratic equation in x is an equation that can be written
in the general form
0,
where a, b, and c are real numbers, with a 0. A quadratic
equation in x is a
ax bx x
lso called a second-degree polynomial
equation in x.

by Factoring

The Zero-Product Principle
If the product of two algebraic expressions
is zero, then at least one of the factors is
equal to zero.
If AB=0, then A=0 or B=0

Solving a Quadratic Equation by Factoring
1. If necessary, rewrite the equation in the general
form ax +bx+c=0, moving all terms to one side,
thereby obtaining zero on the other side.
2. Factor completely.
3. Apply the zero-product principle, setting each factor
containing a variable equal to zero.
4. Solve the equations in step 3.
5. Check the solutions in the original equation

Graphing CalculatorThe real solutions of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 correspond to the x-intercepts of the graph. The U shaped graph shown below has two x intercepts. When y=0, the value(s) of x will be the solution to the equation. Since y=0 these are called the zeros of the function.
![Page 10: Section 1.5 Quadratic Equations](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051218/5681581e550346895dc58394/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Solving Polynomial Equations using the Graphing Calculator
Repeat this process for each x intercept.
By pressing 2nd Trace to get Calc, then the #2,you get the zeros. It will ask you for left and right bounds, and then a guess. For left and right bounds move the blinking cursor (using the arrow keys-cursor keys) to the left and press enter. Then move the cursor to the right of the x intercept and press enter. Press enter when asked to guess. Then you get the zeros or solution.

Solving Quadratic Equations
by the Square Root Property

The Square Root Property
If u is an algebraic expression and d is a
nonzero real number, then u =d has
exactly two solutions.
If u , then u= d or u=- d.
Equivalently,
If u , then u= d.

The Pythagorean Theorem
The sum of the squares of the
lengths of the legs of a right
triangle equals the square of the
length of the hypotenuse.
If the legs have lengths a and b,
and the hypotenuse has len2 2 2

Example
A machine produces open boxes using square sheets of metal. The
figure illustrates that the machine cuts equal sized squares measuring
2 inches on a side from the corners, and then shapes the metal into an
open box. Write the equation for the volume of this box. If the volume is
50 cubic inches, what is the length of the side of the original metal.
