MULTIPLICATION TABLES Table
• Use Excel to Set up a Multiplication Table for the following:

1x1 =1
2x1 =2
3x1 =3
4x1 =4
5x1 =5
…….
• Each Part of the Equation must be Placed in A
20x1 = 20 Single Cell ( 5 Cells will be used to present
1 x 1 =1)
• Use Cell References to Perform Multiplication!!

MULTIPLICATION a Multiplication Table

TUTORIAL EXERCISE 1
Part A
Create a 20 x 20 Multiplication Table:

 Create an Appropriate Heading ( i.e 20 x 20

MULTIPLICATION TABLES)

 Use only Cell References!!

SOLUTION TO QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
Part B
Let the general form of a quadratic equation be given by:

𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 = 𝟎
Where a, b and c are constants.

Given the following quadratic equations:

𝒙𝟐 + 𝒙 + 𝟔 = 𝟎
𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙 − 𝟔 = 𝟎
𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙 + 𝟔 = 𝟎
𝒙𝟐 + 𝒙 − 𝟔 = 𝟎

Use Excel to solve for 𝒙.

SOLUTION to Quadratic
TO QUADRATIC EQUATIONS Equations
• Set up an appropriate Excel Spreadsheet to solve the following quadratic
equations:

𝒙𝟐 + 𝒙 + 𝟔 = 𝟎
𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙 − 𝟔 = 𝟎 Logical
𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙 + 𝟔 = 𝟎 Operators:
𝒙𝟐 + 𝒙 − 𝟔 = 𝟎 <,>,=

• Using the IF Function to check the Discriminant

The IF Function – Checks whether a condition is met and returns one

value if TRUE and another value if FALSE

IF (logical_test, [ value_if_true], [value_if_false])

TUTORIAL EXERCISE 2
Quadratic Equations
a) Create a Spreadsheet to Solve the Following Quadratic Equations ( including the 4
given earlier):
𝒙𝟐 + 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟖 = 𝟎
𝟑𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟏𝒙 − 𝟒 = 𝟎
𝟒𝒙𝟐 − 𝟕𝒙 + 𝟐 = 𝟎

b) Add an extra column titled “Discriminant Check” and Use the IF Function to state
whether each equation has a possible solution or not.

c) Set up a Spreadsheet where a use can enter any “x” value to solve the following
equations:
𝒚 = 𝟓𝟎𝒙𝟏.𝟒 +𝟒𝟓𝒙𝟎.𝟕 −𝟏𝟖
𝝅 𝝅 𝟐
𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐 + −
𝟔𝒙 𝟏𝟖
𝒚 = 𝒆𝟐𝒙 + 𝒆𝒙−𝟔
