O or X	42	52 on p.636

Problem 42: y2 − 3y − 10 = 0

Problem 52:

· 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
