Math 9 Solving Quadratic Equations by Using The Quadratic Formula

This document discusses solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. It begins by having the reader write 5 quadratic equations in standard form (ax^2 + bx + c = 0) and identify the a, b, and c coefficients. It then works through an example of solving a quadratic equation by completing the square. Finally, it has the reader identify the a, b, c values of 5 more equations and substitute them into the quadratic formula to solve for the roots.

4. 10 + 7x – 3x = 0
5. 2x (x – 6) = 5

The solutions of any quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 can be determined using the
quadratic formula
