Section 8.5 Equations Reducible to Quadratic Forms • Recognizing Equations that are Quadratic Form • Even Powers 4, 6, 8 and Up • Radical Equations – square roots, fourth roots, etc • Fractional Exponents ½, ¼, and Down • Binomial Terms 8.5
SolvingQuadratic Form EquationsAlways 3 Terms: ax2n + bxn + c = 0 • If the 1st term’s variable part equals the square of the 2nd term’s variable part, you can use the following quadratic form technique: • Use a placeholder variable(u usually) to replace the 1st and 2nd term variables, solve as a quadratic, then back-substitute u with the variable and solve again. 8.5
