For each of the following quadratics

1. Find the value of the discriminant.

2. Use the value to determine the nature of the       roots.

3. Use to quadratic formula to find the exact     value for the roots of each quadratic.

4. Draw a very rough sketch of what the quadratic might       look like.

a)  x2 ­ x ­12 = 0

b)  ­x2 + 2x + 18 = 0

c)  x2 ­ x + 2 = 0

d)  ­x2 + x ­ 4 = 0

e)  x2 ­ 6x + 9 = 0

f)  ­x2 + 10x ­25 = 0
