1. Solving Quadratics by Graphing Algebra 1

2. Solving by Graphing There are several different ways to solve a quadratic equation. You have already learned to solve by taking square roots.

3. Solving by Graphing Quadratics cannot be solved the same way as linear functions because you have two x’s in one equation that are not like terms.

4. Solving by Graphing Linear equations have one solution. Quadratic equations have two solutions.

6. Steps to Solve Write the equation in standard form. ax2+bx+c=0

7. Steps to Solve Write the equation in standard form. ax2+bx+c=0 Make it into a function by replacing 0 with y.

8. Steps to Solve Write the equation in standard form. ax2+bx+c=0 Make it into a function by replacing 0 with y. Find the vertex and points on both sides, then graph the function. The solutions are the x-intercepts.
