Exercises 14: Critical Thinking For each equation, calcu- late the discriminant. Use the discriminant to decide whether the equation can be solved by factoring. If it can, solve the equation by factoring. Otherwise, use the quadratic formula. 1. 8x + 14x - 15 = 0 2. 15x - 17x – 4 = 0 3. 5x - 3x - 3 = 0 4. 3x - 2x - 4 = 0
