This learning material deals with solving quadratic equations by extracting
square roots. As you go through this lesson your skill in finding the solutions of a
quadratic equation by extracting square roots will be developed.
After going through this module, the learners should be able to solve quadratic
equations by: (a) extracting square roots (M9AL-Ia-b- 1 )

Example 1: Find the solutions of the quadratic equation ๐ฅ
2
โ 16 = 0 by extracting
square roots_._
Solution:
Write the equation in the form ๐ฅ
2

2
Since 16 is greater than 0, then the first property can be applied to find the
values of x that will make the equation ๐ฅ
2
โ 16 = 0 true.

16 Apply extracting square roots
To check, substitute these values in the original equations.
Both values of x satisfy the given equation. So the equations ๐ฅ
2
โ 16 = 0 is true
when ๐ฅ = 4 or ๐ฅ = โ 4.
Answer: The equation ๐ฅ
2
โ 16 = 0 has two solutions: ๐ฅ = 4 or ๐ฅ = โ 4.
Example 2: Solve the equation ๐
2
Since ๐
2
= 0 , then the equation has one real solution or root.
That is, ๐ = 0
To check: ๐

Answer: The equation ๐

= 0 has one real solution or root that is ๐ = 0
Example 3: Find the solution of the quadratic equation ๐
๐
Solution:
Write the equation in the form ๐ฅ

Since ๐ < ๐ , so the equation has no real solution or root.
Answer: Has no real solution.
For ๐ฅ = 4 :

But, if you want to have the answer(Not indicated in our book), you need to
simplify the equation and get the root of this eqaution by simply applying the square
root method.

โ 4 Apply extracting square roots
๐ฅ = ยฑ(โ 4 )(โโ 1 ) Factor of โโ 4 is (โ 4 )(โโ 1 )
๐ฅ = ยฑ 2 ๐ Note: ๐ = โโ 1
Example 4: Find the solution of (๐ + ๐)

To solve the equation simply add โ 9 to both sides of the equation

๐
= ยฑโ๐๐ Apply extracting square roots
Solve for x in the equation ๐ + ๐ = ยฑ๐
The equation will result to two values of x.
and
To check the obtained solutions or values of x substitute the values of x in the
original equation.
The values of x satisfy the equation. So, the equation (๐ + ๐)
