13.2 More on Solving Quadratic Equations Goals: • To solve ax² =k • -To solve by factoring into a binomial square • To solve using (x +a)² =k
To Solve in the form ax² =k • Divide both sides by a • Take the square root of both sides • Remember to use + • Simplify (rationalize denominators)
Example 1: Solve or Rationalize:
To solve in the form (x +a)²=k • Take the square root of both sides • Solve for x
+5 +5 +5 +5 Example 3: Solve
-2 -2 -2 -2 Example 4: Solve
If you can make a binomial square…do it Binomial Square- a² +2 ab +b² = (a +b)² a² -2 ab +b² = (a-b)²
Example 5: Solve (x -7)² =3
Projectile Height • Formula will be given: • height of the object when it lands. It is usually 0 because object usually land on the ground. • t= time the object is in the air • initial velocity • height of the object when it starts
Projectile height Example 6: Toy rocket leaves ground at 25m/second. How high will it be in 2 seconds? In how many seconds will it hit the ground
Example 7: Projectile Height A slow-pitch softball player hits the ball when it is 2m above the ground. The ball pops up with an initial velocity of 9m/s. If the ball is allowed to drop to the ground, how long will it be in the air?
