1. Write the equation in standard form ax²+bx+c= 0
2. Identify the coefficients (a,b and c)
3. Find two numbers such that :
i) ( 1 st no)( 2 nd no) = ac
ii) 1 st no + 2 nd no = b
4. Rewrite the middle term ax² + mx + nx + c = 0 ,
where m = 1 st no, n = 2 nd no
5. Group the terms, take the common factor out,
then simplify
6. Apply the zero product property ax+m= 0 ,
ax+n= 0
7. Solve for x to find the roots.
2. Select 3 ( fx- 570 es
plus)
3. Enter the values for
a, b, and c
4. Press Equals
