Study Notes
Solving Quadratic Equations by Extracting Square Roots
- Quadratic equations can be solved using the square root method when presented in the form ( x^2 = c ).
- If ( x^2 = c ), the solutions are ( x = \sqrt{c} ) or ( x = -\sqrt{c} ).
- For quadratic equations with one solution, set ( c ) to a non-negative value.
Examples of Solving Quadratic Equations
-
Example 1: Solving ( x^2 = 64 )
- Extract square root: ( x = \pm 8 )
- Solutions are ( 8 ) and ( -8 ).
-
Example 2: Solving ( x^2 + 6 = 6 )
- Rearrange to ( x^2 = 0 ).
- Take square roots: ( x = 0 ).
- Solution is ( 0 ).
-
Example 3: Solving ( 9x^2 + 16 = 0 )
- Rearrange to ( 9x^2 = -16 ), showing no real solutions (as square roots of negative numbers are imaginary).
-
Example 4: Solving ( 2(x + 4)^2 = 18 )
- Divide by 2 to get ( (x + 4)^2 = 9 ).
- The square roots yield equations ( x + 4 = 3 ) or ( x + 4 = -3 ).
- Solutions are ( x = -1 ) and ( x = -7 ).
Steps for Extracting Square Roots
- Write the equation in the form ( x^2 = \frac{c}{a} ).
- Extract square roots from both sides, adding a ± sign before the square root.
- Solve the resulting equations and verify the solutions through substitution.
Key Definitions
- Square Root Property: States that if ( x^2 = c ), then ( x = \sqrt{c} ) or ( x = -\sqrt{c} ).
- An equation with ( c < 0 ) yields no real solutions, and the solutions are imaginary.
Practice Problems
- Solve quadratic equations such as ( x^2 - 49 = 0 ), ( 9x^2 - 25 = 0 ), ( 4x^2 + 1 = 5 ) by extracting square roots.
- Check solutions through substitution.
Assessment Questions
- Identify the correct property related to quadratic equations, solutions of specific values, and practical methods for solving quadratic equations.
- Determine the roots and simplify expressions involving square roots.
Important Notes
- Quadratic equations can have two solutions (real), one solution (real), or no solutions (imaginary).
- Practice multiple problems to gain proficiency in this method of solving quadratic equations.
