Quadratic equations are a major component of the "Passport to Advanced Math" domain on the SAT. This guided path will teach you the essential skills, from algebraic solving methods to the crucial interpretation of their graphs (parabolas).
Start with the core definition of a quadratic equation and use our interactive verifier to understand what the "roots" of an equation represent.
Learn the step-by-step process of factoring quadratic expressions to find the roots, a crucial skill for the no-calculator section.
Master the universal tool for solving any quadratic equation. Our interactive calculator shows you how to apply the formula step by step.
Visually connect the discriminant ($$b^2-4ac$$) to the graph of a parabola and understand how it determines the number of real solutions.
Learn the step-by-step process of translating a real-world SAT word problem (like a projectile's path) into a quadratic function.
