Ch 9: Quadratic EquationsB) Square Roots
Objective:
To solve quadratic equations using square roots.
Quadratic Expression
An expression in which 2 is the largest exponent.
ax2 + bx + c
Quadratic Equation
An equation in which 2 is the largest exponent.
ax2 + bx + c = 0
Square root of a quadratic
The square root of a variable squared (x2) equals the absolute value of the square root.
Definitions
€
x 2 = |x| = ± x
1) Isolate x2 (get x2 on one side and the number on the other side)
2) Take the square root of BOTH sides (keep the equation balanced)
3) Solve for the absolute value of x (this creates 2 equations)
Look to see if the number is on the diagonal of the multiplication table.
(a) If so, it is a perfect square and you have your answer. (Don’t forget the ± symbol)
1) If not, simplify the radicand and solve for both equations
Note: There should be two answers!
