Solving QE by setting each factor equal to 0
(8x+5)(4x-3)=0
Answer:
x= -5/8 | x= 3/4
completing the square
x2-10x-11
x=-1
x=11
Find the discriminant:
2x2 - 5x - 3 = 0
D=49
If an equation has a degree higher than 2 is it still quadratic?
No
Solving QE by setting each factor equal to 0
(6x-3)(10x+9)=0
Answer: x= 3/6 or 1/2 | x= -9/10
completing the square
2x2-16x-10
x=8.58
x=-0.58
Find the discriminant:
2x2-4x-4=0
D=48
Which one of these is not quadratic
A. 2x2 + 4x - 16 = 0
B. 8x4 + 16x + 32 = 0
B. Because the exponent is 4
Solving QE by factoring.
Remember to set each factor equal to 0.
(2x+9)2=0
x=-9/2
completing the square
3x2+18x-27
x=3
x=-9
Find the discriminant:
5x2+9x-20=0
D=481
Is 2x2 - 3x = 0 quadratic
Yes even though it has only two terms it still has a degree of 2
