5.6: The Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant
Objectives: Students will be able to…• Solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic
formula• Use the discriminant to determine the number of
solutions a quadratic equation has

The Quadratic Formula!!!
• Works to solve every quadratic equation in standard form: ax2 + bx + c= 0, a ≠ 0
(must set equation equal to 0 first!!)
IT’S MAGIC!!!

Now graph the equation and check!! Then solve by factoring!!

Solve by the quadratic formula
1. x2 + 3x -2 = 0 2. x2 = 2x – 5
Graph it. What do you notice?

The Discriminant
• Tells us how many solutions a quadratic equation has and the nature of them (real or imaginary)
When you have a quadratic equation in standard form: ax2 + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is:
b2 – 4ac

How to use the discriminantValue of the discriminant
Number and nature of solutions.
What this means graphically.
b2 – 4ac > 0 2 real solutions 2 x-intercepts
b2 – 4ac = 0 1 real solution Touches the graph, 1 x intercept
b2 – 4ac < 0 2 imaginary solutions No x –intercepts

Find the discriminant. Give the number and type of solutions of the equation.
1. 9x2+ 6x + 1 = 0
2. 9x2+ 6x -4 = 0
3. 9x2+ 6x +5 = 0

Vertical Motion Models
h = -16t2 + ho object is dropped
h = -16t2 + vot + ho object is launched or thrown
Variables:h = height (feet)t = time (seconds)vo = initial velocity
ho = initial height

The water in a large fountain leaves the spout with a vertical velocity of 30 ft per second. After going up in the air, it lands in a basin 6 ft below the spout. If the spout is 10 ft above the ground, how long does it take a single drop of water to travel from the spout to the basin?

A man tosses a penny up into the air above a 100 ft deep well with a velocity of 5 ft/sec. The penny leaves the man’s hand at a height of 4 ft. How long will it take the penny to reach the bottom of the well?
