Solve the quadratic equation using square root property: {eq}(5x + 3)^2 = 81 {/eq}.
Question:
Solve the quadratic equation using square root property: {eq}(5x + 3)^2 = 81 {/eq}.
Square Root Property:
The Square Root Property can be applied to solve a quadratic equation. The Square Root Property states that if the quadratic equation written as, {eq}\displaystyle (ax+b)^2=c {/eq}, then {eq}\displaystyle ax+b=+\sqrt{c} \text{ or } ax+b=-\sqrt{c} {/eq}. From there, solve for the values of the variable. Not that, if the value of {eq}\displaystyle c {/eq} is zero, then there is 1 real root. If the value of {eq}\displaystyle c {/eq} greater than zero, then there are 2 real roots, but if If the value of {eq}\displaystyle c {/eq} is less than zero, then there are 2 imaginary roots.
