To Solve a quadratic equation

Step 1: Move all terms to one side of the equation, leaving zero on the other side.


Step 2: Factor the expanded equation into binomials.


Step 3: Set each expression equal to 0 and solve for the variable.

Foil this:


(2x + 1)(x - 8)

2x² - 16x + x - 8


(then combine like terms)


2x^2 - 15x - 8

If x² - 3x + 5 = 3, what is x?

First set the quadratic equation equal to 0:


x² - 3x + 5 = 3


-3 -3


x² - 3x + 2 = 0


Then reverse foil:


(x - 2)(x -1) = 0


x = 1, 2

2y(y - 4) = 0

2y = 0


y - 4 = 0


y = 0, 4
