Remember, solving a quadratic means stating the multiple solutions!

1. Solve the quadratic equation by factoring : x2 x 6 = 0

2. Solve the quadratic equation by factoring : 16x(x 2) = 8x 25

3. Solve the quadratic equation x2 4x = 8 by completing the square.

4. Solve the quadratic equation x2 + 6x 5 = 0 by completing the square.

5. Solve the quadratic equation 3x2 5x 10 = 0 by completing the square.

6. Solve the quadratic equation using the square root property : (8x 3)2 = 5

7. Use the quadratic formula to solve the following : x2 + 8x + 12 = 0

8. Given the following quadratic equation : 4x2 2x + 3 = 0

(a) Compute the determinant, and state the type of solution that it indicates.

(b) Solve the quadratic equation by the method of your choice!

 Part II - Good Luck
1. Solve the polynomial by factoring, and then use the zero-product principle. (that AB = 0 thing)
4x3 12x2 = 9x 27

2. Solve the radical equation and then check your solutions 6x + 1 = x 1

3. Solve the radical equation and then check your solutions 2x 3 x 2 = 1 (Hint : Isolate one of
the radicals first! It might take multiple steps)
