Doctors use them somehow which you don't need to know.


If the right-hand side of a quadratic equation does not equal zero you need to the number or expression on the righthand side from both sides before you can use the quadratic formula?

subtract


When do you use the quadratic formula?

When you need to find the roots of a quadratic equation and factorisation does not work (or you cannot find the factors). The quadratic equation ALWAYS works. And when appropriate, it will give the imaginary roots which, judging by this question, you may not yet be ready for.


How do you solve 5r squared equals 80 with the Quadratic Formula?

You don't need to use the quadratic formula because:- 5r2 = 80 Divide both sides by 5: x2 = 16 Square root both sides: r = 4


Do you have any other examples of real life applications of quadratic formulas?

What statements must be true of an equation before you can use the quadratic formula to find the solutions?

The equation must be written in the form ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 ), where ( a \neq 0 ). This is the standard form of a quadratic equation. If the equation is not in this form, you may need to rearrange it before applying the quadratic formula.


What is the first thing you need to solve using a quadratic formula?

You need to put your equation in this form... ax2 + bx + c = 0 Then identify your a,b and c


The answer to 0 equals x2 plus x-20 using the quadratic formula?

You do not need the quadratic formula, since this can easily be factored in to linear factors.x2 + x - 20 = (x - 4)(x + 5), thus, x = 4 or 5.But, using the quadratic formula:(-b +- sqrt(b2 - 4ac))/2a = (-1 +- sqrt(1 + 80))/2(-1 + 9)/2 = 4(-1 - 9)/2 = -5


How do you solve a quadratic inequality when the expression is unfactorable?

Use the quadratic formula for the equality. Then, depending on the coefficient of x2 and the nature of the inequality [>, ≥, ≤, <], determine whether you need the open or closed intervals between the roots or beyond the roots.


What is the solution to 4 equals 2b plus b squared?

To find the solution to this equation, you need to rearrange the terms and solve for the variable. 4 = 2b + b^2 can be rewritten as b^2 + 2b - 4 = 0. You can then solve this quadratic equation by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula.
