Solving Quadratic Equations by using
quadratic formula
 In this lesson you will learn how to use the quadratic
formula to solve any quadratic equation.
Quadratic formula
 is used to solve any kind of quadratic equation.
You can read this formula as:
Where a  0 and b 2 – 4 a c ≥ 0.
x equals the opposite of b, plus or minus the
square root of b squared minus 4 a c, all divided by
2 a.

Rule for Using the Quadratic Formula
 The equation must be in standard form,
It will be very helpful to list out a = , b = , and c = each
time you use the formula to minimize your mistakes.
