    This document discusses solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. It begins by reviewing the quadratic formula and having the student practice solving quadratics. It then discusses the discriminant and how it determines the number of solutions a quadratic will have. The document provides examples of solving quadratics with 2 solutions, 1 solution, and 0 solutions. It concludes with an example of applying a quadratic model to a real world situation of a ball being thrown.

    5  Solving  Quadratic  Equations  –  Part  2:  Solve  Using  the  Q.F.  


    MCR3U  
    Jensen  
     
    Part  1:  DO  IT  NOW!  
     
    a)  Do  you  remember  the  quadratic  formula?  
     
     
     
     
    b)  Use  the  quadratic  formula  to  find  the  x-­‐intercepts  of:  
     
     
    𝟎 = 𝟐𝒙𝟐 + 𝟕𝒙 − 𝟒  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Part  2:  Discriminant  Review  
     
    Do  all  parabolas  have  two  x-­‐intercepts?      
     
     
    What  are  the  three  different  scenarios?  
     
     
     
    The  way  to  determine  how  many  x-­‐intercepts  a  parabola  might  have  is  by  evaluating  the    
    𝑏 ! − 4𝑎𝑐  part  of  the  quadratic  formula  (called  the  "discriminant")  
     
    Discriminant:  the  value  under  the  square  root  
     
     
    If  𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒𝒂𝒄   > 𝟎,  there  are  two  solutions  
     
     
    If  𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒𝒂𝒄 = 𝟎,  there  is  one  solution  
     
     
     If  𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒𝒂𝒄   < 𝟎,  there  are  no  solutions  
     
    Part  3:  Solve  a  Quadratic  with  2  Roots  
     
     
    Objective:  Determine  the  roots  of  a  quadratic  using  the  quadratic  formula  and  leave  as  EXACT  answers  
     
    Exact  answer:  as  a  radical  or  fraction.  Exact  answers  do  not  have  decimals.  
     
    Example  1:  Find  the  exact  solutions  of    3𝑥 ! − 10𝑥 + 5 = 0  
     

    Example  2:  Find  the  exact  solutions  of    −2𝑥 ! + 8𝑥 − 5 = 0  


     

    Part 4: Solving a Quadratic with 1 Root

    Note:  when  a  quadratic  only  has  1  solution,  the  x-­‐intercept  is  also  the  vertex  
     
    Example  3:  Find  the  exact  roots  of    4𝑥 ! + 24𝑥 + 36 = 0  
     
    Part 5: Solving Quadratics with 0 Roots
     

     
    2  Scenarios  causing  0  roots:    
    i)  vertex  is  above  the  x-­‐axis  and  opens  up  
    ii)  vertex  is  below  the  x-­‐axis  and  opens  down

    Example  4:  Find  the  x-­‐intercepts  of    8𝑥 ! − 11𝑥 + 5 = 0  


     
     
     

     
     
     
    Part  6:  Use  the  Discriminant  to  Determine  the  Number  of  Roots
     
     
    Example  5: For  each  of  the  following  quadratics,  use  the  discriminant  to  state  the  number  of  roots  it  will  
    have.      
     
    a)    2𝑥 ! + 5𝑥 − 5 = 0  
     
     
     
     
     
     
    b)    3𝑥 ! − 7𝑥 + 5 = 0  
     
     
     
     
     
     
    c)    −4𝑥 ! + 12𝑥 − 9 = 0  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Part  7:  Application  
     
     
    Example  6: A  ball  is  thrown  and  the  equation  below  model  it's  path:  
                     
    𝒉 = −𝟎. 𝟐𝟓𝒅𝟐 + 𝟐𝒅 + 𝟏. 𝟓  
     
    'h'  is  the  height  in  meters  above  the  ground  and  'd'  is  the  horizontal  distance  in  meters  from  the  person  
    who  threw  the  ball.      
     
    a)  At  what  height  was  the  ball  thrown  from?  
     
     
     
     
     
     
    b)  How  far  has  the  ball  travelled  horizontally  when  it  lands  on  the  ground?
