x = ± 4=±2 EXAMPLE 1 Solve quadratic equations Solve the equation. a. 2x2 = 8 SOLUTION a.2x2 = 8 Write original equation. Divide each side by 2. x2 = 4 Take square roots of each side. Simplify. The solutions are–2and2. ANSWER
ANSWER The solution is 0. EXAMPLE 1 Solve quadratic equations b.m2 – 18 = – 18 Write original equation. m2 =0 Add 18 to each side. m=0 The square root of 0 is 0.
ANSWER Negative real numbers do not have real square roots. So, there is no solution. EXAMPLE 1 Solve quadratic equations c.b2+12=5 Write original equation. b2 = – 7 Subtract 12 from each side.
