Unit 8 - Objective 1 – Worksheet

Solve the given quadratic equation by factoring.

1. x2 - 8x = 0







2. x2 + 5x - 6 = 0







3. x2 + 16 = 8x





4. 2x2 = 5x





5. x2 + 2x + 1 = 0





6. 4y2 = 25





7. (x - 1)2 = 4





8. 2x2 + 6 = 7x





Answers:
1. x=0, x=8
2. x=-6, x=1
3. x=4
4. x=0, x=5/2
5. x= -1
6. y = 5/2, y= -5/2
7. x= -1, x= 3
8. x = 3/2, x = 2
