Solving Quadratic Equations Worksheet


Find all real solutions of each equation (or function) below. Show all work.

1.) 15n2 – n = 2 2.) 8x2 – 16x = 6x – 12


8x2 - 16x - 6x + 12
15n2 - n - 2 = 0
8x(x - 2) - 6(x - 2)
15n2 - 6n + 5n - 2
(8x - 6)(x - 2) = 0
3n(5n - 2) + (5n - 2)
x = 3/4, 2
(3n + 1)(5n - 2) = 0
n = -1/3, 2/5

3.) 100w2 = 36 4.) f(x) = 32x2 – 18

100w2 - 36 = 0 2(16x2 - 9)
4(25w2 - 9) = 0 2(4x + 3)(4x - 3) = 0
4(5w + 3)(5w - 3) x = -3/4, 3/4
n = -3/5, 3/5

5.) -6y + 15 = 9y2 6.) (4x + 3)2 = 25

16x2 + 24x + 9 - 25
9y2 + 6y - 15
16x2 + 24x - 16
3(3y2 + 2y - 5)
8(2x2 + 3x - 2)
3y2 + 5y - 3y - 5
8(2x2 + 4x - x - 2)
3[y(3y + 5) - 1(3y + 5)]
8[2x(x + 2) - 1(x + 2)]
3(y - 1)(3y + 5) = 0
8(2x - 1)(x + 2) = 0
y = -5/3, 1
x = -2, 1/2
7.) m2 = 4m 8.) 2y = y2 + 1

m(m - 4) y2 - 2y + 1 = 0
(y - 1)(y - 1)
m = 0, 4 y=1

9.) (3x + 2)2 + 8 = 9 10.) g(x) = 36x2 – 24x + 4


4(9x2 - 6x + 1)
9x2 + 12x + 12 = 9 9x2 - 3x - 3x + 1
9x2 + 12x + 3 3x(3x -1) - 1(3x - 1)
3(3x2 + 4x + 1) = 0 4(3x - 1)(3x - 1)
3(3x2 + 3x + x + 1) x = 1/3
3[3x(x + 1) + 1(x + 1)]
3(3x + 1)(x + 1)
x = -1, -1/3

11.) -12n2 – 11n + 15 = 0 12.) f(x) = (x2 + 8x + 12)(x – 5)

(x + 2)(x + 6)(x - 5)
-1(12n2 + 11n - 15)
x = -6, -2, 5
12n2 - 20n + 9n - 15
4n(3n - 5) + 3(3n - 5)
-1(4n + 3)(3n - 5)
n = -3/4, 5/3
