Solving Quadratic Equations by Taking Square Roots Worksheets
Unlike the standard form: ax2 + bx + c = 0, most of the quadratic equations offered in this pack of printable high school worksheets have no middle term. Such equations are known as pure quadratic equations and are of the form ax2 - c = 0. Solving these quadratic equations is made a lot easier by by taking square roots. Let's now get into the process! Here’s all you have to do. Isolate the leading term on the left-hand side of the equation and the constant term on the right-hand side, take square roots on both sides, and simplify both sides for the values of x. The equations that have the middle term can also be solved by finding square roots. Yet again, the middle term is excluded by using the appropriate algebraic identities.
