Quadratic Equations & Functions

Overview

This chapter builds on the previous 2 chapters to develop 4 methods of solving quadratic equations. The first method uses the factoring skills from Chapter 9. The other methods rely heavily on the radical expression concepts discussed in Chapter 10. The chapter concludes with graphic quadratic functions and finding the zeros of a function.
