Solve Applications Modeled by Quadratic Equations
We solved some applications that are modeled by quadratic equations earlier, when the only method we had to solve them was factoring. Now that we have more methods to solve quadratic equations, we will take another look at applications.
Let’s first summarize the methods we now have to solve quadratic equations.
