1 10.4 Use Square Roots to Solve Quadratic Equations Before You solved a quadratic equation by graphing. Now You will solve a quadratic equation by finding square roots. Why? So you can solve a problem about a falling object, as in Example 5. FPO Key Vocabulary square root, p. 110 perfect square, p. 111 To use square roots to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax 2 1 c 5 0, first isolate x 2 on one side to obtain x 2 5 d. Then use the following information about the solutions of x 2 5 d to solve the equation. KEY CONCEPT For Your Notebook READING Recall that in this course, solutions refers to real-number solutions. Solving x 2 5 d by Taking Square Roots If d. 0, then x 2 5 d has two solutions: x 56Ï } d. If d 5 0, then x 2 5 d has one solution: x 5 0. If d, 0, then x 2 5 d has no solution. d > 0 d 5 0 d <0 y x E XAMPLE 1 Solve quadratic equations Solve the equation. a. 2x b. m c. b ANOTHER WAY You can also use factoring to solve 2x : 2x (x 2 2 4) 5 0 2(x 2 2)(x 1 2) 5 0 x 5 2 or x 522 Solution a. 2x Write original equation. x Divide each side by 2. x 56Ï } Take square roots of each side. Simplify. c The solutions are 22 and 2. b. m Write original equation. m Add 18 to each side. m 5 0 The square root of 0 is 0. c The solution is 0. c. b Write original equation. b Subtract 12 from each side. c Negative real numbers do not have real square roots. So, there is no solution. 652 Chapter 10 Quadratic Equations and Functions
2 SIMPLIFYING SQUARE ROOTS In cases where you need to take the square root of a fraction whose numerator and denominator are perfect squares, the radical can be written as a fraction. For example, Î } 16 } can be written 25 as } 4 because 5 1 } } E XAMPLE 2 Take square roots of a fraction Solve 4z Solution 4z Write original equation. z } 4 Divide each side by 4. z 56Î } 9 }4 z 56 3 } 2 Take square roots of each side.

8 LESSON 10.4 Using ALTERNATIVE METHODS Another Way to Solve Example 5, page 654 MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIONS In Example 5 on page 654, you saw how to solve a problem about a dropped table-tennis ball by using a square root. You can also solve the problem by using factoring or by using a table. P ROBLEM SPORTS EVENT During an ice hockey game, a remote-controlled blimp flies above the crowd and drops a numbered table-tennis ball. The number on the ball corresponds to a prize. Use the information in the diagram to find the amount of time that the ball is in the air. 45 ft 17 ft Not drawn to scale M ETHOD 1 Using Factoring One alternative approach is to use factoring. STEP 1 Write an equation for the height h (in feet) of the ball as a function of time t (in seconds) after it is dropped using the vertical motion model. h 5216t 2 1 vt 1 s Vertical motion model h 5216t 2 1 0t 1 45 Substitute 0 for v and 45 for s. STEP 2 Substitute 17 for h to find the time it takes the ball to reach a height of 17 feet. Then write the equation so that 0 is on one side t Substitute 17 for h t Subtract 17 from each side. USE AN APPROXIMATION By replacing 28 with 25, you will obtain an answer that is an approximation of the amount of time that the ball is in the air. STEP 3 Solve the equation by factoring. Replace 28 with the closest perfect square, 25, so that the right side of the equation is factorable as a difference of two squares t Use 25 as an approximation for (16t ) Factor out (4t 2 5)(4t 1 5) Difference of two squares pattern 4t or 4t Zero-product property t 5 5 } 4 or t 52 5 } 4 Solve for t. c The ball is in the air about 5 } 4, or 1.25, seconds. Using Alternative Methods 659
9 M ETHOD 2 Using a Table Another approach is to make and use a table. STEP 1 Make a table that shows the height h (in feet) of the ball by substituting values for time t (in seconds) in the function h 5216t Use increments of 1 second. STEP 2 Identify the time interval in which the height of the ball is 17 feet. This happens between 1 and 2 seconds. STEP 3 Make a second table using increments of 0.1 second to get a closer approximation. c The ball is in the air about 1.3 seconds. Time t (seconds) Height h (feet) Time t (seconds) Height h (feet) P RACTICE 1. WHAT IF? In the problem on page 659, suppose the ball is caught at a height of 10 feet.

For an expression of the form x 2 1 bx, you can add a constant c to the expression so that the expression x 2 1 bx 1 c is a perfect square trinomial. This process is called completing the square. E XPLORE Complete the square Find the value of c that makes x 2 1 4x 1 c a perfect square trinomial. STEP 1 Model expression Use algebra tiles to model the expression x 2 1 4x.
