What are the cons and pros of solving quadratic equations using graphing, quadratic formula, completing the square, and factoring?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

this one's long. =(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah! Come on you always help me.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

which DQ is that? let me find it out.

I have an idea but at the same time I'm totally lost.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

u want like 150 words! :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't need that much from you, I can answer the rest if I have an idea of the answer. I can't learn all that formulas in just one week. :(

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

let me get u an idea.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahhhh! Thank you for your help. :)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

it's option DQ btw. ;]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok let me see it and I will change in my own words. We can change it together. What you think?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol, ok. here's what where u cannot find anywhere.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

copied?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is ok I'm trying my best with my little algebra knowledge to answer the question.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

This is 100% my written! =D

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Should i delete it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe you. Yes you can delete it now.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

impossible. send me a link.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wait

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

that is not like the one i posted later.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

the first one was this. but the next one it isnt online.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess I was wrong. I start writing my answer I hope is ok. LOL

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YOu want to check what I just wrote?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Quadratic Formula- This method can be use with any quadratic equation to find a solution. Is the easiest one of all after you learn the formula. (I add the formula)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

rite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm stuck with the cons in this one.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

it is difficult to use. and more chances of mistakes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For Graphing- Not my favorite, however is a visual solution which let you find the solution faster. You will find the solution when the equation crosses the x-axis resulting in two real-number solutions.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

rite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm glad this is right. :O

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol, it's correct. but u have to elaborate this as well. u have to convert this into completing square form. that will give u the vertex. which will help us in graphing it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In that case I guess the problem is given without a graph and that is when you need to use convert the solution into completing square form to get the vertex and be able to graph the solution. Am I right?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
