Topics for Today:
One method that can be used to solve any quadratic equation is the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula uses the coefficients from the equation to find the values for x when y is zero. It is highly recommended that students MEMORIZE the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula works even when we don't have real solutions (yes, there is such a thing as an imaginary number - stay tuned - you'll become very familiar with imaginary numbers in Algebra II).
