California Standards
19.0 Students know the quadratic formula and are familiar with its proof by completing the square. 20.0 Students use the quadratic formula to find the roots of a second-degree polynomial and to solve quadratic equations.
In the previous lesson, you completed the square to solve quadratic
equations. If you complete the square of ax2 + bx + c = 0, you can derive
the Quadratic Formula.
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 :

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

x = - 2 or x = - 3
These are the roots of the equation.
Example 2
Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation :8x 2 + 2x - 3= 0
Solution:8x 2 + 2x - 3= 0a = 8 b = 2 c = -3

x = ½ or x = - ¾ These are the roots of the equation.
Example 3Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation :8x 2 - 22x + 15= 0Solution:8x 2 - 22x + 15= 0a = 8 b = -22 c = 15

x = 3/2 or x = 5/4 These are the roots of the equation.
Because the Quadratic Formula contains a square root, the solutions may be irrational. You can give the exact solution by leaving the square root in your answer, or you can approximate the solutions.
1. Solve x2 + x = 12 by using the Quadratic Formula.
2. Solve –3x2 + 5x = 1 by using the Quadratic Formula.
3. Solve 8x2 – 13x – 6 = 0. Use at least 2 different methods.
