QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
(Using the Quadratic Formula) |
This lesson
- explains why a quadratic has determinable values (as opposed to factorisation without solving)
- shows how quadratics can be solved using the following steps :
1. Make equation standard form as x ² (a) + x(b) + c = 0
2. Factorise so that (a)(b) = 0
3. Now find values for a, b
|
This lesson
- completion of the square using the following steps :
- Make equation standard
Isolate the 'x' terms on the left-hand side of the equation
- Isolate x ² term - divide each term by 'a'
Add {1/2 coefficient of x}², to both sides
- Factorise the left-hand side of the equation as
[x.....the sign of the middle term .....3rd term]²
- Simplifying the right-hand side
Square root both sides
- Solve for x

This lesson
- derives the quadratic formula and applies the formula for the solution of Quadratic Equations
