  • Take the square root of both sides.
  • Solve for x using both the positive and negative square roots.
  • Simplify the solutions if necessary.

Solved Example

Q. Solve for x x. \newlinex2=25 x^2 = 25 \newlineWrite your answer in simplified, rationalized form. \newlinex= x = ______ or x= x = ______
Solution:
  1. Square Root of Equation: x2=25 x^2 = 25 \newlineFind the values of x x. \newlineTake the square root of both sides of the equation. \newline
    x=±25 x = \pm\sqrt{25}
  2. Calculate Square Root: Calculate the square root of 25 25.
    x=±5 x = \pm 5
  3. Write Solutions: Write down the two possible solutions for x x. \newlineValues of x x: 5 5, 5 -5

Quadratic Equations

To solve a quadratic equation like ax2+bx+c=0 using square roots, first identify a, b, and c. Divide the equation by a to simplify. Rearrange to isolate x2. Take the square root of both sides to find two solutions for x: one positive and one negative. This method helps determine where the equation intersects the x-axis on a graph.
