CCSS: HSA.REI.B.4, HSA.REI.B.4.B
CCSS Description: Solve quadratic equations in one variable. a. Use the method of completing the square to transform any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x – p)2 = q that has the same solutions. Derive the quadratic formula from this form. b. Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula, and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation; recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a ± bi for real numbers a and b.

This worksheet will require learners to form quadratic equations from given problems and then solve those quadratics. Section A has questions involving 2D and 3D shapes; the knowledge of Pythagoras’ Theorem will be required. Section B then provides some word problems on different contexts such as percentages, reciprocals, and mean average.
