Solving Quadratics

The equation 𝑦 = 3𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 5 has two imaginary

roots. How could this equation be changed so that its
roots aren’t imaginary? What will the new roots be?

Solve for x using the method of your choice.

𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 24 = 0
3𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 − 1 = 0

2𝑥 2 + 8 = −28 𝑥 2 − 49 = 0

DO NOT SOLVE. List the method of solving each Factoring, Completing the Square, or Quadratic Formula
quadratic that you would use. Why would you use
that method over the others?

𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 − 7

𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 15

𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 + 9
