Quadratic Formula
a) Need to get everything in the equation to one side and have it equal to 0.
A quadratic equation is
So a=-5
b=-38
c=6
Plug these values into the quadratic formula (above) and solve for x. Remember there will be two values for x because of the + or -.
b) Foil both sides then get everything to one side and set equal to 0.


So a=-1
b=8
c=-10
Plug these into the Quadratic Formula and solve for x.
