• Find the problems assigned to you in the table below.

• If the third  letter of your last  name is

  On pages 635 and 636, solve the following problem by factoring

  Solve the following problem by using the Quadratic Formula

• For the factoring problem, be sure you show all steps to the factoring and solving. Show a check of your solutions back into the original equation.

• For the Quadratic Formula problem, be sure that you use readable notation while you are working the computational steps. Refer to Inserting Math Symbols 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
