Today, we covered Section 2.4: Solving Quadratic Equations Algebraically using the following methods:
- factoring and using the Zero Product Property
- Square Root Theorem
- Completing the Square
- Quadratic formula
- Graphing and finding x-intercepts
Keep in mind, if you are asked to use a particular method to solve a quadratic, then you are expected to use that method. If you are only asked to solve, then you may use any method.
