Perfect square quadratic formula


Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 168 People


In the derivation of the quadratic formula by completing the square, the equation (x+b over 2a)^2=-4ac+b^2 over 4a^2 is created by forming a perfect square trinomial. What is the result of applying the square root property of equality to this equation?

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

The result of applying the square root property of equality to this equation is x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

\left(x+\dfrac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\dfrac{-4ac+b^2}{4a^2}

As the above equation is formed by perfect square trinomial so simply applying the square root property as shown:

\sqrt{(x+\dfrac{b}{2a})^2}=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{-4ac+b^2}}{\sqrt{4a^2}}\\x+\dfrac{b}{2a}=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Isolate the variable x.

x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Hence, the result of applying the square root property of equality to this equation is x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.
