    This document discusses two methods for solving quadratic equations: the square root property and completing the square. 1. The square root property states that if x^2 = k, then x = ±√k. It can be used to solve equations by taking the square root of both sides. 2. Completing the square involves rearranging terms in the equation into a perfect square trinomial. The number that makes the trinomial a perfect square is found and factored out. Then the square root property is applied. Several examples are provided and step-by-step video tutorials demonstrate how to solve quadratic equations using each method.

    = k, then x = k or x = k
    We usually write this solution as: x k

    Step 1: Move the constant term to the other side of the equation.

    Step 2: Group the xs together in parenthesis. Write + ___ inside the parenthesis and
    + ____ on the other side of the equals. The problem should look like:


    2
    ___ ____ x bx c

    Step 3: Make sure the coefficient of x
    2
    is 1. If it is not 1, divide out the coefficient
    from the xs.

    Step 4: Find the number that goes in the blanks.
    First blank: Take the b-number (the middle number) and half-it and square-
    it. This is the number that goes in the 1
    st
    blank.
    Second blank: To find the number that goes in the 2
    nd
    blank, you multiply
    the first blank number by the coefficient of the parenthesis (if you brought
    out a coefficient).

    Step 5: Factor the resulting perfect square trinomial as:
    2 2
    ___ or ___ x x

    Step 6: Apply the square root property and solve for x.
