Quadratic Formula
X= -b square root b^2-4ac/2a
Completing the Square
-b/2a
Then Square Root Both Sides
Square Rooting
Square Root of a = Square Root of c
Factor Completely
(x+/-#)(x+/-#)
Solve by Factoring
(#,#)
Y=2x^2
X=0
Y=0
Minimum because a is positive
Y=0
No x Intercepts
Find the Product
Multiply the Two Parentheses
Find the Discriminant and the Number of Solutions
b^2-4ac
+# = Two Real Solutions
-# = No Real Solutions
0 = One Real Solution
