Question

Which part of the quadratic formula tells you whether the quadratic equation can be solved by factoring?

−b b2 − 4ac 2a

Use the part of the quadratic formula that you chose above and find its value given the following quadratic equation:

2x2 + 7x + 3 = 0

Answer 1

b^2-4ac

Answer 2

If (b^2 -4ac) is a perfect square then it is factorable

Answer 3

^yes

Answer 4

tht was beautiful

Answer 5

to be clear if more confusing, if
\[b^2-4ac\geq 0\] then you can factor over the real numbers and if
\[b^2-4ac\] is a perfect square then you can factor over the rational numbers
