Quadratic equations are second-order polynomial equations that feature an x-squared term. They can take many forms, but a general quadratic equation is written as ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants with ‘a’ not equal to 0. Here’s how to solve for x using either the quadratic formula or by factoring where possible.
Step 1: Identify the values of a, b, and c from the equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0.
Step 2: Substitute these values into the quadratic formula.
Step 3: Simplify and solve.
Follow this guide, and you’ll be able to tackle quadratic equations with confidence. Remember to simplify the square root as much as possible and take extra care with the ‘±’ to find both roots.
Radical equations involve a variable in one or more terms under a radical sign. To solve these equations, we often employ a process called “isolating the radical.”
Step 1: Move any numbers or terms from the same side to the other side of the equation.
Step 2: If the radical is square, use the square root property to solve. If the radical is a cube (or higher power), use the corresponding roots.
Step 3: Square (or take the corresponding power) both sides to eliminate the radical and solve for x.
It is important to note that at each step, you must check for extraneous roots – solutions that do not satisfy the original equation due to a mathematical impossibility (e.g., division by zero).
