This document provides instruction on solving quadratic equations. It begins with an introduction explaining why quadratic equations are useful and includes a video example. It then defines quadratic equations and shows students how to identify the coefficients a, b, and c. The bulk of the document demonstrates two methods for solving quadratic equations: factoring and using the quadratic formula. It includes examples of each method and practice problems for students to work through. The goal is to teach students how to solve quadratic equations through factoring and using the formula.
