Quadratic Formula Bd2862
1. The problem is to solve a quadratic equation using the grade 10 quadratic formula.
2. The quadratic formula is given by $$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are coefficients from the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$.
3. Important rules:
- Calculate the discriminant $\Delta = b^2 - 4ac$.
- If $\Delta > 0$, there are two real and distinct solutions.
- If $\Delta = 0$, there is one real solution.
- If $\Delta < 0$, there are no real solutions (complex solutions).
4. Substitute the values of $a$, $b$, and $c$ into the formula.
5. Simplify under the square root and calculate the two possible values for $x$.
6. This method works for any quadratic equation and is a standard approach taught in grade 10 algebra.
Since no specific quadratic equation was provided, this is the general method to solve any quadratic using the grade 10 quadratic formula.
