Lesson 6: Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant

VOCAB Quadratic Formula – is a formula that will give

you the x-intercepts to ANY quadratic equation

Discriminant – tells you how many real solutions a quadratic equation has (how many times the graph crosses the x-axis)

2 is when the discriminant is greater than 0

1 is when the discriminant is 0 0 is when the discriminant is less than 0

DIRECTIONS (Quadratic Formula)

Set the equation to be equal to zero Move everything to one side Combine Like Terms

Plug a, b, and c into the formula Solve

I DO (Quadratic Formula)Find all zeros using the quadratic formula 1. 2. 3. 4.

WE DO (Quadratic Formula)

Find all zeros using the quadratic formula 1. 2. 3. 4.

YOU DO (Quadratic Formula)

Find all zeros using the quadratic formula 1. 2. 3. 4.
