MAT 222

THE THIRD LETTER OF MY LAST NAME IS N

   

In this discussion, you will solve quadratic equations by two main methods: factoring and using the Quadratic Formula. Read the following instructions in order and view the 

example

 to complete this discussion: 

• Find the problems assigned to you in the table below.
• If the third  letter of your last  name isOn page 636, solve the following problem by factoringSolve the following problem by using the Quadratic FormulaA or L4648 on p. 646B or K8846 on p. 646 C or J8444 on p. 646D or I1020 on p. 646E or H818 on p. 646F or G616 on p. 646 M or Z3848 on p. 636N or Y4050 on p. 636O or X4252 on p. 636P or W4454 on p. 636Q or V8056 on p. 637R or U278 on p. 637S or T482 on p. 637 

• For the factoring problem, be sure you show all steps to the factoring and solving. Show a check of your solutions back into the original equation.
• For the Quadratic Formula problem, be sure that you use readable notation while you are working the computational steps. Refer to Inserting Math Symbols for guidance with formatting.
• Present your final solutions as decimal approximations carried out to the third decimal place. Due to the nature of these solutions, no check is required.
• Incorporate the following four math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing your math work.):Quadratic formulaFactoringCompleting the squareDiscriminant
