    Review: Find the equation in standard form of the quadratic function with zeros and , and
    passes through the point (8, -3). Factored form: .

    LESSON: SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS


    Solve means to find numerical value(s) for “x”.

    METHODS
    There are 3 widely used methods for solving quadratic equations. Quadratic equations generally have 2 solutions
    (roots, x-intercepts).

    1) ISOLATION/SQUARE ROOT PROPERTY


    Solve for x:
    1 Isolate the term that contains the squared variable.

    2. Take the square root of both sides and solve for the variable.

    3. Remember the possibility of two roots for every square root, one positive and
    one negative. Place a  sign in front of the side containing the constant
    before you take the square root of that side.

    Solve the following function using the method of isolation:


    (2m  4)2  1  7

    Method 2: FACTORING Solve for x:

    Try: 2 x( x  1)   x  15

     b  b 2  4ac
    3) QUADRATIC FORMULA x
    Solve the following using quadratic formula: 2a

    Determine the x – intercepts of the function f ( x)  5x 2  2 x  1 using the quadratic formula. Leave answers in
    exact reduced radical form (not decimal form).

    PRACTICE
    1. A playground, which measures 60 m by 40 m, is to be doubled in area by building a new larger rectangular fence the
    same distance farther out from each of the four original sides of fencing. By how much should each side be moved
    outwards?

    2. A factory is to be built on lot that measures 90 m by 70 m. A lawn of uniform width and with an area of 3900 m2
    must surround the factory. What dimensions must the factory have?

    2. Determine the x – intercepts of the function f ( x)  5x 2  2 x  1 using the quadratic equation. Leave answers in
    exact reduced radical form (not decimal form).
