Algebra I Recipe: Solving Quadratic Equations by Finding Square Roots
By G Redden
A. Quadratic Equation in standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0
- a, b, c are integers.
B. Solving a Quadratic Equation when b = 0
- Isolate the x² by using inverse operations.
- Square root both sides to isolate x.
- Give the positive and negative answer (±).
1.
