Determine The Number of Solutions or Roots

1. x 2 − x + 2 = 0 a =1, b = -7, c = 2

b2 − 4(ac) = (−1)2 − 4(1⋅2) =1− 8 = −7

2. 2x 2 − 3x = 8

2x 2 − 3x − 8 = 0 a = 2, b = -3, c = -8

b2 − 4(ac) = (−3)2 − 4(2 ⋅−8)

= 9 − 4(−16) = 9 + 56 = 65

3. 2x 2 − 4x − 7 = −15

2x 2 − 4x + 8 = 0 a = 2, b = -4, c = 8

b2 − 4(ac) = (−4)2 − 4(2 ⋅8) =16 −16 = 0

Singing the Quadratic Equation(To the melody of Pop Goes The Weasel)

Minus B plus or minus the square rootB squared minus 4ACAll over 2A, That’s the quadratic equation.

It’s the greatest equation of all time.It even has a wonderful rhyme.If you don’t know it, It would be a crimeThat’s the quadratic equation.

Math is the most taught subject in the worldSo you’d better believe meBone up to pass the SATYou won’t end up a weasel.
