How Do You Solve a Quadratic Equation by Using the Quadratic Formula?

Use the Quadratic Formula to solve x2 + 12x + 32 = 0

Summary

  1. a, b, and c are the coefficients in the quadratic equation

Notes

    1. We are solving for the value of x that will make x2+12x+32 equal to zero!
    2. a, b, and c are the coefficients in the quadratic equation
    1. When we simplify, we have to make sure that we follow order of operations very closely!
