Algebra Solving the quadratic equations by two main methods

In this discussion, you will solve quadratic equations by two main methods: factoring and using the quadratic formula. Follow the instructions in order, to complete problems 1 and 2


Solve by using the quadratic formula

1. x^2+10x-3=0


Solve by factoring

2. 3x^2− 6x= 24

  • For the Quadratic Formula problem, be sure that you use readable notation while you are working the computational steps.

  • 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.

  • 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
