Algebra Help - quadratic equations

Algebra II – Week 4 Discussion

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. Please find the problems assigned to you in the table below:

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.

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.
