Step-by-step flowchart showing the factorization method for solving quadratic equations

Step-by-step flowchart showing the factorization method for solving quadratic equations

The map in words

  • Start: ax² + bx + c = 0
    • Identify factors of ac
      • Find two numbers that multiply to ac and add to b
        • Split middle term using these numbers
          • Group and factor out common terms
            • Write as product of two linear factors
              • Set each factor equal to zero
                • Solve each linear equation
                  • Verify solutions
                    • State the roots

Flowchart showing the quadratic formula method and how the discriminant determines root nature

Flowchart showing the quadratic formula method and how the discriminant determines root nature

The map in words

  • Quadratic Equation: ax² + bx + c = 0
    • Identify coefficients a, b, c
      • Calculate Discriminant D = b² - 4ac
        • Value of D?
          • D > 0: Two distinct real roots
            • Apply formula: x = -b ± √D / 2a
              • Calculate the roots
          • D = 0: Two equal real roots
          • D < 0: Two complex conjugate roots
