Analze the discriminant to determine the number and tpe of solutions. Solve real-life problems. Solving Equations Using the Quadratic Formula Previousl, ou solved quadratic equations b completing the square. In the Eploration, ou developed a formula that gives the solutions of an quadratic equation b completing the square once for the general equation a + b + c = 0. The formula for the solutions is called the Quadratic Formula. Core Concept The Quadratic Formula Let a, b, and c be real numbers such that a 0. The solutions of the quadratic equation a + b + c = 0 are = b ± b 4ac. a COMMON ERROR Remember to write the quadratic equation in standard form before appling the Quadratic Formula. Solving an Equation with Two Real Solutions Solve + 3 = 5 using the Quadratic Formula. + 3 = 5 Write original equation = 0 Write in standard form. = b ± b 4ac a = 3 ± 3 4(1)( 5) (1) = 3 ± 9 Quadratic Formula Substitute 1 for a, 3 for b, and 5 for c.

Solving an Equation with Imaginar Solutions Solve + 4 = 13 using the Quadratic Formula. COMMON ERROR Remember to divide the real part and the imaginar part b when simplifing. + 4 = = 0 = 4 ± 4 4( 1)( 13) ( 1) = 4 ± 36 4 ± 6i = = ± 3i The solutions are = + 3i and = 3i.

4 Analzing the Discriminant In the Quadratic Formula, the epression b 4ac is called the discriminant of the associated equation a + b + c = 0. = b ± b 4ac a discriminant You can analze the discriminant of a quadratic equation to determine the number and tpe of solutions of the equation. Core Concept Analzing the Discriminant of a + b + c = 0 Value of discriminant b 4ac > 0 b 4ac = 0 b 4ac < 0 Number and tpe of solutions Two real solutions One real solution Two imaginar solutions Graph of = a + b + c Two -intercepts One -intercept No -intercept Analzing the Discriminant Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation and describe the number and tpe of solutions of the equation. a. 6 + = 0 b = 0 c = 0 Equation Discriminant Solution(s) a + b + c = 0 b 4ac = b ± b 4ac a a. 6 + = 0 ( 6) 4(1)() = 4 Two imaginar: 3 ± i b = 0 ( 6) 4(1)(9) = 0 One real: 3 c = 0 ( 6) 4(1)(8) = 4 Two real:, 4 Monitoring Progress Help in English and Spanish at BigIdeasMath.com Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation and describe the number and tpe of solutions of the equation = = = = = = 6 14 Chapter 3 Quadratic Equations and Comple Numbers
5 Writing an Equation Find a possible pair of integer values for a and c so that the equation a 4 + c = 0 has one real solution. Then write the equation. In order for the equation to have one real solution, the discriminant must equal 0. b 4ac = 0 Write the discriminant. ANOTHER WAY Another possible equation in Eample 5 is = 0. You can obtain this equation b letting a = 4 and c = 1. ( 4) 4ac = 0 Substitute 4 for b. 16 4ac = 0 Evaluate the power. 4ac = 16 Subtract 16 from each side. ac = 4 Divide each side b 4. Because ac = 4, choose two integers whose product is 4, such as a = 1 and c = 4. So, one possible equation is = 0. Check Graph = The onl -intercept is. You can also check b factoring = 0 ( ) = 0 = 3 Zero X= Y=0 7 Monitoring Progress Help in English and Spanish at BigIdeasMath.com 13. Find a possible pair of integer values for a and c so that the equation a c = 0 has two real solutions. Then write the equation. The table shows five methods for solving quadratic equations. For a given equation, it ma be more efficient to use one method instead of another. Suggestions about when to use each method are shown below. Concept Summar Methods for Solving Quadratic Equations Method Graphing Using square roots Factoring Completing the square Quadratic Formula When to Use Use when approimate solutions are adequate. Use when solving an equation that can be written in the form u = d, where u is an algebraic epression. Use when a quadratic equation can be factored easil. Can be used for an quadratic equation a + b + c = 0 but is simplest to appl when a = 1 and b is an even number. Can be used for an quadratic equation. Section 3.4 Using the Quadratic Formula 15
6 Solving Real-Life Problems The function h = 16t + h 0 is used to model the height of a dropped object. For an object that is launched or thrown, an etra term v 0 t must be added to the model to account for the object s initial vertical velocit v 0 (in feet per second). Recall that h is the height (in feet), t is the time in motion (in seconds), and h 0 is the initial height (in feet). h = 16t + h 0 h = 16t + v 0 t + h 0 Object is dropped. Object is launched or thrown. As shown below, the value of v 0 can be positive, negative, or zero depending on whether the object is launched upward, downward, or parallel to the ground. V 0 > 0 V 0 < 0 V 0 = 0 Modeling a Launched Object A juggler tosses a ball into the air. The ball leaves the juggler s hand 4 feet above the ground and has an initial vertical velocit of 30 feet per second. The juggler catches the ball when it falls back to a height of 3 feet. How long is the ball in the air? Because the ball is thrown, use the model h = 16t + v 0 t + h 0. To find how long the ball is in the air, solve for t when h = 3. h = 16t + v 0 t + h 0 Write the height model. 3 = 16t + 30t + 4 Substitute 3 for h, 30 for v 0, and 4 for h 0. 0 = 16t + 30t + 1 Write in standard form. This equation is not factorable, and completing the square would result in fractions. So, use the Quadratic Formula to solve the equation. t = 30 ± 30 4( 16)(1) a = 16, b = 30, c = 1 ( 16) t = 30 ± t or t 1.9 Simplif. Use a calculator. Reject the negative solution, 0.033, because the ball s time in the air cannot be negative. So, the ball is in the air for about 1.9 seconds.
