Method : Squre Root Method or Etrction of Roots Method When to Use Squre Root Method: In order to use squre root method, the eqution must be in the formt: =. Notice tht if there is no term in the stndrd form of the qudrtic eqution or if b =, then it is to put in this form. Steps: 1. Put the qudrtic eqution in the form.. Tke the of both sides of eqution nd. 3. When you tke of both sides, you MUST tke the prts. 5 9 (3 1) 9 ( 1) 3 11 Method 3: Completing the Squre Investigtion of Perfect Squres 1 3 4 7 8 1 18 Unit 1 Pge of 4
Method 3: Completing the Squre (continued) When to use Completing the Squre Method: This method will work, but I would only use this method if I ws unble to or use. The most equtions to use Completing the Squre Method, hve = nd b is. Steps: 1. From form, mke = by dividing ech term by,. Move the term to the right side of eqution nd dd to ech side. 3. Complete the Squre by the liner term by nd. Put this vlue in the blnks. The right side will now fctor into. 4. Finish Solving by using method. 10 1 0 14 4 0 3 18 1 0 Unit 1 Pge 3 of 4
