9.2 Solving Quadratic Equations using square roots
Determining How Many Solutions of x² = d When d > 0, 2 real solutions When d = 0, 1 real solution When d < 0, 0 real solutions
How Many Solutions 1.) 2x²-32 =0 2.) 5x² +8 =8 x² + 8 =5
To Solve in the form ax² =k Divide both sides by a Take the square root of both sides Remember to use + Simplify the square root
Example 1: Solve
Example 2: Solve
To solve in the form (x +a)²=k Take the square root of both sides Solve for x
Example 3: Solve +5 +5
Example 4: Solve -2 -2
Example 5: 4(x-3)²=9
