· 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

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
