What is the difference between quadratic formula and quadratic equation?
There are an infinite number of different quadratic equations. The quadratic formula is a single formula that can be used to find the pair of solutions to every quadratic equation.
Is it OK to use the quadratic formula if the given quadratic trinomial is not factorable?
Well, if the given quadratic equation cannot be factored, nor completed by the square, try using the quadratic formula.
What did you choose completing the square or quadratic formula and why?
Quadratic formula. It's easier to remember and you have to do less work.
Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula?
For any quadratic ax2 + bx + c = 0 we can find x by using the quadratic formulae: the quadratic formula is... [-b +- sqrt(b2 - 4(a)(c)) ] / 2a
What is the advantage of using completing the square vs the quadratic formula?
Completing the square is advantageous in several situations:usually, it requires fewer steps than the quadratic formula, reducing the potential for error.it allows you to determine the exact value of the answer instead of a decimal approximation.it allows you to determine imaginary solutions.
