Examples, solutions, videos, and lessons to help High School students learn how to solve
quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x2
= 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic
formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the
equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex
solutions and write them as a ± bi for
real numbers a and b.
Suggested Learning Targets
- Solve quadratic equations in one variable by simple
inspection, taking the square root, factoring, and completing
the square.
- Understand why taking the square root of both sides of an
equation yields two solutions.
- Use the quadratic formula to solve any quadratic equation,
recognizing when the formula produces complex solutions.
Write the solutions in the form a Ңi , where a and b are real
numbers.
- Explain how complex solutions affect the graph of a quadratic
equation.
