Not all of us are born with exceptional math skills, but these can be built with practice. This batch of printable solving quadratic equations using the formula worksheets is a rare find to practice the easiest method of solving messy looking quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. Ensure that every step goes smoothly, and leads to answering quickly and intelligently, by simply identifying the coefficients a, b, and c from the quadratic equation, and substituting it in the formula x = (-b± √ (b 2 -4ac)) / 2a to find the roots. Using the formula is a never-fail method to solve quadratic equations, and memorizing the formula does the trick. What's even more laudable is the fact that there are no tedious steps to follow, just a plug and chug process. With our free worksheet, you will be well on the way to a great start.
Using the formula to solve the quadratic equation is just like waving a wand. With the equations presented in the standard form and involving only integers, identifying the coefficients a, b, and c, plugging them in the quadratic formula and solving is all that high school students need to do to find the roots.
