2. Solve
x2 – 50 = 0

3. Solve
2x2 = 14

4. Solve
(x+1)2 = 12

5. Solve
(2x – 5)2 = -16

6. Solve
p2 + 3p = 4

7. Trinomial that isn’t factorable…
Move the constant back over
p2 + 2p+ = 4+

8. Trinomial that isn’t factorable…
Move the constant back over
p2 + 2p+ = 4+
Divide the middle term (x term) by 2
2/2 = 1

9. Trinomial that isn’t factorable…
Move the constant back over
p2 + 2p+ = 4+
Divide the middle term (x term) by 2
2/2 = 1
Add answer2 to BOTH sides of the equation
p2 + 2p + 1 = 4 + 1

10. Trinomial that isn’t factorable…
Move the constant back over
p2 + 2p+ = 4+
Divide the middle term (x term) by 2
2/2 = 1
Add answer2 to BOTH sides of the equation
p2 + 2p + 1 = 4 + 1
Factor the left side
(p + 1)2 = 5

11. Trinomial that isn’t factorable…
Move the constant back over
p2 + 2p+ = 4+
Divide the middle term (x term) by 2
2/2 = 1
Add answer2 to BOTH sides of the equation
p2 + 2p + 1 = 4 + 1
Factor the left side
(p + 1)2 = 5
Square root both sides and solve

12. Solve
m2 – 7m -1 = 0

13. Solve
2x2 – 8x + 3 = 0

14. Solve
3x2 – 9x + 8 = 0
