  1. Introduction to Solving Quadratic Equations Objective: Solve quadratic equations by taking square roots

  2. Square Roots

  3. Square Roots

  4. Example 1

  5. Example 1

  6. Try This • Solve . Give exact solutions. Then approximate the solution to the nearest hundredth.

  7. Try This • Solve . Give exact solutions. Then approximate the solution to the nearest hundredth. • We need to get x by itself. • Add 19 to both sides • Divide by 5 • Square root both sides

  8. Example 2

  9. Example 2

  10. Try This • Solve

  11. Try This • Solve • Divide by 4 • Square root both sides • Subtract 2 from both sides • Solve

  12. Example 3 • A rescue helicopter hovering 68 feet above a boat in distress drops a life raft. The height in feet of the raft above the water can be modeled by , where t is the time in seconds after it is dropped. After how many seconds will the raft dropped from the helicopter hit the water?

  13. Example 3 • A rescue helicopter hovering 68 feet above a boat in distress drops a life raft. The height in feet of the raft above the water can be modeled by , where t is the time in seconds after it is dropped. After how many seconds will the raft dropped from the helicopter hit the water? • What are they asking us in terms of our equation?

  14. Example 3 • A rescue helicopter hovering 68 feet above a boat in distress drops a life raft. The height in feet of the raft above the water can be modeled by , where t is the time in seconds after it is dropped. After how many seconds will the raft dropped from the helicopter hit the water? • What are they asking us in terms of our equation? • They are asking when is the height of the raft zero.

  15. Example 3 • A rescue helicopter hovering 68 feet above a boat in distress drops a life raft. The height in feet of the raft above the water can be modeled by , where t is the time in seconds after it is dropped. After how many seconds will the raft dropped from the helicopter hit the water?
