Solve the following quadratic equation by using the square root property. If​ possible, simplify radicals or rationalize denominators.

1 answer

Sure! To solve a quadratic equation using the square root property, we can start with the general form of a quadratic equation:

\[ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \]

However, the equation must first be in the form of \( x^2 = k \) before we can apply the square root property, which states that if \( x^2 = k \), then

\[ x = \pm \sqrt{k} \]

If you provide a specific quadratic equation, I can demonstrate solving it using the square root property. Otherwise, I can give a generic example. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed!
