If ax2+bx+c = 0 and a ≠ 0,then
GOAL:
QUADRATIC EQUATION:
Ex: What are the solutions to? Use the quadratic formula.
x2-8=2x
SOLUTION: We must first put the equation in ax2+bx+c=0 form.
a = 1 , b = -2 and c = -8 x2-8=2x x2-2x-8 =0

YOU TRY IT:
Ex: What are the solutions to? Use the quadratic formula.
x2-4x=21
SOLUTION: We must first put the equation in ax2+bx+c=0 form.
a = 1 , b = -4 and c = -21 x2-4x=21 x2-4x-21 =0

REAL-WORLD:
In the shot put, An athlete throwsA heave metal ballThrough the air. The arc of the ball is modeled by the equation: -0.04x2+.84x+2. Where x is the horizontal distance. How far from the athlete will the ball land?
SOLUTION: The given equation is already in standard form:
a = -0.04 , b = 0.84 and c = 2
-0.04x2+0.84x+2 = 0
