How to Solve the Quadratic Equation by Using Square Roots?
- Ensure the quadratic equation is in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are constants.
- Identify the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \).
- Divide the equation by \( a \) to make the coefficient of \( x^2 \) equal to `1`.
- Move \( x^2 \) to one side and everything else to the other.
- Take the square root of both sides.
- Solve for \( x \) using both the positive and negative square roots.
- Simplify the solutions if necessary.
