    1. The quadratic formula provides the roots of a quadratic equation in the form x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a. 2. Several quadratic equations are solved using the quadratic formula, with answers given in simplest radical form. 3. The curve y = 2x2 - 8x + 3 crosses the x-axis at the points (-1,0) and (3/2,0), found by setting y = 0 and solving the resulting quadratic equation.

    2 Use the quadratic formula to solve each equation, giving your answers as simply as possible in
    terms of surds where appropriate.
