Hi Tine,
Using the quadratic equation , perform the following tasks:
a) Solve by factoring.
Answer:
Show work in this space.
(x____)(x____)=0
Two numbers that multiply to get c=+8, but add to get b=-6
-2*-4=+8 and -2+(-4)=-6
(x-2)(x-4)=0 Set each parenthesis = 0 and solve for x.
x-2=0 and x-4=0
x-2+2=0+2 and x-4+4=0+4
x=2 and x=4
b) Solve by using the quadratic formula.
Answer:
Show work in this space.
is in standard form
a=1, b=-6, and c=8
The quadratic formula is:




and
and
x=4 and x=2
Happy Calculating!!!
