4.3Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square

Square Root PrincipleThe square root principle will work for quadratic equations of the form: 

ax2 + (0)x + c = 0

IE:  if there is no "x" term, the square root principle will work!

two important notes:

­isolate the squared term by itself before taking the square root of both sides.

­when applying the square root, you must take both the positive and negative value of the number.

Example 1: Solve the following quadratic equations:

a) b)

For standard form quad. equations that will not factor, if you want to use the square root principle, you must convert it to vertex form by:
