Don't worry, as soon as we get to school, we can go to Ms. Castellanos's class and I will help you get ready for the quiz.
Of course, you can.
We have a quiz today and I still don't know how to solve quadratic equations.
I don't know if I will be able to learn it in such a short time.
Right, so, do you know how to do this part?
If the answer is greater than 0, there are 2 solutions. If the answer is 0, there is only one solution, and if the answer is negative, then there is no solution. In this case, there will be 2 solutions.
Yeah, we substitute a, b, and c into the Discriminant Formula. This is where I get stuck and I don't know what to do next.
SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS BY UISNG THE QUADRATIC FORMULA1. Standard Form (ax2+bx + c = 0)2. Find the number of Real Solutions by using the Discriminant: b2- 4(a)(c) a) If Disc. 0, then 2 real solutions b) If Disc. = 0, then 1 real solution c) If Disc. =, then No real solution3. Use the Quadratic formula to find the solution (zeros, roots) of the quadratic equation. 4. Graph the Quadratic equation to verify your solution.
All right, let's say you are given the function x2=7x - 10. First, you have move all terms from the right to the left by using inverse operations, in order to rewrite the equation in Standard Form
Right, you also have to remember that x2 has to be written first because it has the highest exponent.
So, that's why you wrote -7x and + 10 on both sides of the equation. To make the right side 0.
ok, then from there we can identify a, b, and c to find the number of solutions, right?

Use the Quadratic formula to find the solution (zeros, roots) of the quadratic equation. 4. Graph the Quadratic equation to verify your solution.
All right, the next step is to substitute a, b and c into the quadratic formula, but you don't have to simplify inside the square root, since it is the Discriminant; you can just. copy the answer and simplify everything.
Ok, that helps. After substituting the values of a, b, and c, we then split up the + and - to get the two solutions right?We get x = 8 and x = -1. That means that the graph will intersect the x-axis at these points right?

Since we know that the roots of the quadratic equation are x = 8 and x = -1, we can see that once we graph the equation.
Now I get it. by graphing the equation we can make sure our solutions are correct!Thanks Jade. I feel more confident now. I will work on two more problems so I can practice a little bit more.

No problem. Anytime.
So, how did it go on the quiz?
I actually feel pretty good about it. The steps on the poster helped me out a lot. It all made sense after you helped me. Thanks.
