Quadratic formula Method:

Step 1: begin with standard form 𝑎𝑥 # + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0

Step 2: Identify a, b and c from the previous equation (please make sure that you don’t miss sign)

Step 3: Plug in a, b and c in the following formula

−𝑏 ± √𝑏# − 4𝑎𝑐
𝑥=
2𝑎
Step 4: simplify numbers under the square root, multiply 2a in denominator and simplify. Two
answers because two signs in between.

8.Graph Quadratic equation:

Step 1: begin with standard form 𝑎𝑥 # + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0

Step 2: Identify a, b and c from the previous equation (please make sure that you don’t miss sign)

Step 3: Vertex has two coordinates (x , y)


/
Step 4: x coordinate of the vertex is 𝑥 = − #0

Step 5: Identify values for a,b and c from previous step. Make sure that you include the signs

Step 6: Substitute a, b values in the above formula. Simplify the fraction to the lowest term

Step 7: Substitute back x value (from last step) in equation 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 # + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 to get y coordinate of
vertex.
/
Step 8: Use axis of symmetry 𝑥 = − #0 and draw a vertical line passing through the vertex.

Step 9: To find x intercepts, Plug in a, b and c in the following formula

−𝑏 ± √𝑏# − 4𝑎𝑐
𝑥=
2𝑎
Step 10: simplify numbers under the square root, multiply 2a in denominator and simplify. Two
answers because two signs in between. These are the x intercepts plot it on the graph.

Step 11: To find y intercepts, Just replace all x in 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 # + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 by 0 and solve for y.

Step 12: Plot vertex, x intercepts, y intercepts. You can additionally add points on either side of
vertex along with its corresponding y coordinates to make graph accurate. Connect all the plotted
points.
