Solve quadratic equation by quadratic formula


Derive the Quadratic Formula
Applying the Method of Completing the Square
DEFINITION
What Does The Formula Do ?
The Quadratic formula allows you to find the roots of a quadratic equation
(if they exist) even if the quadratic equation does not factorise.

The formula states that for a quadratic equation of the form :


ax2 + bx + c = 0
The roots of the quadratic equation are given by :

− 𝑏 ± √ 𝑏 − 4 𝑎𝑐

𝑥=
2𝑎
Example 1 Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation :
x 2 + 5x + 6= 0

Solution: − 5 ± √ 25 − 24
𝑥=

These are the roots of the equation.
Example 2 Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation :
8x 2 + 2x - 3= 0
Solution: − 2 ± √ 4 −(− 96)

Example 3 Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation :
8x 2 - 22x + 15= 0
Solution:
22± √ ( 484 )−( 480)
8x 2 - 22x + 15= 0 𝑥=
