2.13 Using Square Roots to Solve Quadratic Equations
3
All positive real numbers have 2 square roots
Positive square root (principle square root) Negative square root Radicand: number or expression inside the radical symbol Perfect square: squared integer If there is no b, you can isolate the x2 and then solve using square roots.

Solve quadratic equations
EXAMPLE 1 Solve quadratic equations Solve the equation. a. 2x2 = 8 SOLUTION a. 2x2 = 8 Write original equation. x2 = 4 Divide each side by 2. x = ± 4 = ± 2 Take square roots of each side. Simplify. The solutions are –2 and 2. ANSWER
5
Solve quadratic equations
EXAMPLE 1 Solve quadratic equations b. m2 – 18 = – 18 Write original equation. m2 = 0 Add 18 to each side. m = 0 The square root of 0 is 0. ANSWER The solution is 0.
