Solving Quadratics
by Cheyenne Mesteth
Steps in graphing in standard form
1.) graph the equation
2.) use the formula x=-b/2(a)
3.) plot my vertex and axis of symmetry
4.) make and x-y table and choose two points to plot on the graph
5.) reflect your points over the axis of symmetry to complete your parabola
6.) state the domain and range
steps to adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing complex numbers
1.) combine like terms (real to real and imaginary to imaginary)
Subtracting:
1.) distribute your negative
2.) combine real to real and imaginary to imaginary
Multiplying:
1.) just distribute or foil
Dividing:
1.) distribute and multiply by the conjugate
2.) distribute or foil
3.) simplify the powers of i
4.) combine like terms
5.) write your answer in form of a+bi
6.) reduce your answers if you can
steps to solving story problems
2.) select your variables
3.) look for quantities that are equal
4.) solve the equation
5.) check
steps to graphing in vertex form
2.) FInd the y-intercept
3.) Find the x-intercept
4.) Graph the parabola with the points found in step 3
