This guide covers essential methods for solving linear equations in one variable, including those with fractions. Additionally, it delves into rational equations, absolute value equations, and provides examples for each type. The tutorial further explores quadratic equations, focusing on factoring, the square root property, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula. It also discusses the discriminant and the significance of graphing in determining the solutions, known as zeros, that correspond to the x-intercepts of the quadratic function.

Graphing Calculator The real solutions of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 correspond to the x-intercepts of the graph. The U shaped graph shown below has two x intercepts. When y=0, the value(s) of x will be the solution to the equation. Since y=0 these are called the zeros of the function.
