I know of two ways to solve quadratic equations. The first is through factoring. Let us take the example (x^2)+2x+1=0. We can factor this equation out and the factors would be (x+1)(x+1)=0. To solve for the roots, we equate each factor to 0, that is
x+1=0; x+1=0
In this case, the factors are the same so the root of the equation is
x=1.
The other way is to use the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is given as [-b(+-)sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a where, using our sample equation above, a=1, b=2 and c=1. Substitute these to the formula, and you will get the same answer as the method above.
Hi there! :)
A radical equation is an equation in which a variable (ex. x, y, a, v) is under a radical sign. The only equation that has a variable under a radical (x) is the second option. There is an x next to the 2 under the radical.
I hope this helps, DM me if you have anymore questions. :)
