Question

Explain in your own words how the principle of square roots is used to solve
quadratic equations. What form must a quadratic equation be in to use the principle of square roots for solving? Demonstrate the process with your own example.

Answer 1

i'm guessing this has something to do with the principle of the discriminant

the principle fo square root involved here is that the number inside the radical must not be less than zero otherwise it will become imaginary

Answer 2

ok can you give me example and how to solve these type of problems I am confused about using the squares

Answer 3

A quadratic equation must be solved using the standard form of ax^2+BX+C=0

Answer 4

if you have it in the form:

y = ax² + bx + c

then the quadratic formula is:

x = (-b ±√(b²-4ac)) / (2a)
