Study Notes

Solving Quadratic Equations by Extracting Square Roots

Applicable when the equation is in the form (x^2 = C).
Example: From (x^2 - 16 = 0), derive (x = \pm 4).
Another example: From (y^2 = 81), derive (y = \pm 9).

Steps for Solving Quadratic Equations

Begin with (b^2 + a^2 = 0) leading to ( \sqrt{b^2} = \pm \sqrt{a^2}).
For (m^2 = 1), deduce (m = \pm \sqrt{m}) yielding two potential values.
For a more complex equation like ((x - 4)^2 - 24 = 0):
- Rearrange to ((x - 4)^2 = 24)
- Find roots as (x = 9) and (x = -1).

Quadratic Equation Overview

Four methods to solve:
- Extracting square roots
- Factoring
- Completing the square
- Quadratic formula
Standard quadratic form: (ax^2 + bx + c = 0).

Identification of Quadratic Equations

Quadratic examples:
- (7x^2 + 2x + 3 = 0) is NOT quadratic.
- (3m^3 + 2m^2 = 0) is quadratic.
- (-7y^2 + 4y = 0) is quadratic.
Not all equations with exponents are quadratic; degree matters.

Writing Equations in Standard Form

Example transformations for standard form:
- From (2x - 3x^2 + 1 = 0) to (3x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0).
- Adjusting from (-7 + 4y^2 - 3y = 0) to (4y^2 - 3y - 7 = 0).

Polynomials and Their Characteristics

Polynomials are algebraic expressions consisting of terms with non-negative integer exponents.
Essential requirements:
- No negative exponents or variables in denominators.
Types of polynomials classified by the number of terms:
- Monomial: 1 term
- Binomial: 2 terms
- Trinomial: 3 terms

Factoring Techniques

GCF (Greatest Common Factor) method for factoring polynomials.
Example: (6x^2 + 15x^4) factors to (3x^2(2 + 5x)).
Perfect square trinomial: expressed as ((x + a)^2).

Difference of Squares

The difference of squares is factored as the product of a sum and a difference:
- Example: (x^2 - 100 = (x + 10)(x - 10)).

General Trinomials

Recognizing factors of trinomials, both perfect squares and general forms:
- Perfect square example: (y^2 + 10y + 25 = (y+5)^2).
- General trinomial form example: (3m^2 - 27m - 90 = (m - 30)(m + 3)).

Overview of Quadratic Equations
