Factoring Quadratics
Solving Quadratics by Factoring
1. Put the quadratic in standard
form.
2. Factor.
3. Set each factor equal to zero.
4. Solve for the variable.
Ex.1

Ex.2
Solving Quadratics Square Roots
1. Isolate the variable
2. Take the square root of both
sides

Ex.1
Ex.2

Ex.3
Imaginary Numbers
Complex numbers are in the form
a+bi where "a" and "b" are real
numbers, "a" is the real part and
"bi" is the imaginary part.

Completing the Square

1. Write the quadratic in standard
form:
2. Make a=1
3. Move 'old c' to the other side.

4. Find the 'new c' that makes c a

perfect square, then add it to both
sides.
5. Factor the quadratic.
6. Solve by squaring.

Ex.1 solve by completing the square.

Rewriting Quadratics
Standard form:
Vertex form:
Intercept form:

Ex.1 rewrite the quadratic in

vertex form.
Ex.2 rewrite the quadratic in
standard form.
Quadratic Formula
You must have your equation
in standard form before you
can use the quadratic
formula!!!

Ex.1
Ex.2
Imaginary Numbers
Complex numbers are in the
form a + bi where a and b are
real numbers. a is the real
part and bi is the imaginary
part.
