Solve Using the Quadratic Formula

Name

1. Sketch graphs that have the following that is true:

a. = -.25

c. = -1.5

= 6.25

=0

b. =3

Show where these numeric values lie on your graphs!

2. Solve each quadratic function below using the quadratic formula. a. 2x2 x 5 = 0 b. -3x2 + 4x 8 c. x2 + 9x = 0 d. -2x2 + 2x 1 3. Solve each quadratic inequality. Show where your solution lies on the number line. a. 3x2 4 > 0 b. 12x2 x 1 < 0 c. -3x2 + 4x + 1 < 0 Advanced Practice: 1. Write the equation for the function described in 1a. above. 2. Show how you could use factoring to check your answers in 2c and 2d

SOLVING LINEAR INEQUALITIES: Solve each linear inequality and show how you checked your solution! (You will not receive a P unless you check your answers.) None of your answers should be rounded or repeating decimals write non-terminating decimals as fractions! 1. 3x 4 > 2x 12 2. -7x > x 5 3. 9 6x > 0 ADVANCED: 2(x 5) 4(x + 6) < 12x 3(2 + 4x) 14

READY FOR SOMETHING HARDER 1a. Use a table or graph to solve the following problem Show where your answers lie on the graph below.

-x2 16x + 4 = 2x + 4

1b. Now use algebraic reasoning to re-write the equation above in 0= form (see page 230 #2 to refresh your memory, if you need to). 1c. Sketch the graph of your new equation on the graph above. 1d. Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros of the equation you wrote in 1b.

1e. What do you notice about the solution to problem 1a and the zeros of problem 1d? Now solve the inequalities using algebraic reasoning: and check your solutions by sketching where the region lies on the coordinate plane. a. -x2 3x > 2x2 + 8 b. 3x2 5x + 12 > 2x 25 c. -4x2 4x > 4x 16 (this one is factorable)
