The quadratic formula gives you a way to find the roots of any equation in the form ax 2+ bx+ c=0 . The investigation will
give you an opportunity to apply the quadratic formula in different situations.

The Quadratic Formula

Given a quadratic equation written in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0,
the solutions are

Investigation: How High Can You Go?

Salvador hits a baseball at a height of 3 feet and with an initial upward velocity of 88 feet per second.

Remember, you can find exact solutions to some quadratic equations by factoring. However, most don't factor easily. The
quadratic formula can be used to solve any quadratic equation.

Exercises
1. Work Independently to solve the following problems
