Solving Quadratic Equations, algebra homework help
In this discussion, you will solve quadratic equations by two main methods: factoring and using the quadratic formula. Read the following instructions in order and view the example to complete this discussion.
MY PROBLEMS ARE: x2 –10x + 25 = 0 AND x2 − x − 6 = 0
- For the quadratic formula problem, be sure that you use readable notation while you are working the computational steps. Refer to the Inserting Math Symbols handout for guidance with formatting.
- Present your final solutions as decimal approximations carried out to the third decimal place. Due to the nature of these solutions, no check is required.
- Incorporate the following four math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing. Do not write definitions for the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing your math work.
- Quadratic formula
- Factoring
- Completing the square
- Discriminant
