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 (5 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b² - 4ac tells you whether the equation cam be solved by factoring. If you plug the numbers in from your quadratic equation and the answer comes out positive and as a perfect square, then the equation is factorable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ex. using your equation \[\sqrt{49-24}=25\] twenty five is positive and is 5 squared, so the equation can be solved by factoring

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what would I write for the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops sorry. I forgot to answer that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one sec...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all the question is asking is for you to plug your equation into b2-4ac.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if I solvve I would get 25 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah
