Solving Quadratic Equations - April 2nd

Topics for Today:

Solving quadratic equations was the topic of the day.  We solved these equations by graphing and by using algebra.  For quadratic equations, we have three possibilities for our solutions:  we may have two solutions, one solution, or no REAL solutions.  The rules of algebra still apply when solving numerically - whatever we do to one side of the equation, must also be done to the other side to keep the truth of the equals sign.  Students were also reminded that squaring and taking the square root are inverse operations.
