To review quadratic equations, go to Quadratic Equations Help
Practice
- x 2 – x – 12 = 0
- x 2 + 7 x + 12 = 0
- x 2 + 8 x = –15
- x 2 – 10 x = – 21
- 3 x 2 – x – 2 = 0
- 4 x 2 – 8 x = 5
- x 2 – 25 = 0
- 9 x 2 – 16 = 0
- x 2 = 100
- x 2 + 6 x + 9 = 0
- x 2 = 0
- 5 x 2 = 0

Solutions
-
x 2 – x – 12 = 0
( x – 4 )( x + 3)= 0

-
x 2 + 7 x + 12 = 0
( x + 3)( x + 4)= 0

-
x 2 + 8 x = – 15
+15 + 15
x 2 + 8 x + 15 = 0
( x + 3)( x + 5)= 0

-
x 2 – 10 x = – 21
+21 + 21
x 2 – 10 x + 21 = 0
( x – 3)( x – 7)= 0

-
3 x 2 – x – 2 = 0
(3 x + 2)( x –1)= 0

-
4 x 2 – 8 x = 5
– 5 – 5
4 x 2 – 8 x –5 = 0
(2 x + 1)(2 x – 5)= 0

-
x 2 – 25 = 0
( x – 5)( x + 5) = 0



-
x 2 + 6 x + 9 = 0
( x + 3)( x + 3)= 0
x + 3 = 0
– 3 – 3
x = – 3
-
x 2 = 0
( x )( x )= 0
x = 0
-
5 x 2 = 0
5( x )( x )= 0
x = 0

To review dealing with quadratic expressions that are not so easy to factor, go to Quadratic Equations Help
Practice
1. – x 2 – x + 30 = 0
2. –9 x 2 + 25 = 0
3. 0.01 x 2 + 0.14 x + 0.13 = 0
4. –0.1 x 2 + 1.1 x – 2.8 = 0

9. 6 x 2 + 18 x – 24 = 0
10. –10 x 2 – 34 x – 12 = 0
Solutions










Set 3: Solving Quadratic Equations - Simplifying Squares and Roots
Sometimes using the fact that x 2 = k implies
can be used to solve quadratic equations.
To review this concept, go to Quadratic Equations Help
Practice
- x 2 – 81 = 0
- 64 – x 2 = 0
- 4 x 2 = 100
- 2 x 2 = 3
- – 6 x 2 = – 80
Solutions
-
x 2 – 81 = 0
x 2 = 81
x = ±9
-
64 – x 2 = 0
64 = x 2
±8 = x
