Solving Quadratics Graphically

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

One of the many methods of solving quadratic equations is graphing. A video lesson first demonstrates graphing a quadratic function using an input-output table. After graphing the parabola, the instructor makes the connection between the solutions of the equation and the x-intercepts of the graph.
