MODULE SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATION BY EXTRACTING

2
SQUARE ROOTS

In the previous module, you have learned how to determine whether a given
equation is quadratic or not. Every equation contains variables, the values of which
need to be solved. A quadratic equation is a second-degree equation that has at most
two solutions. In this module, you will learn how to solve quadratic equations by
extracting square roots.

IER!
Knowing how to get the square root of real number is a prerequisite skill in order
to understand the lesson in this module. Below is an illustrative example on how to get
it.

We often see that: Positive square

(𝟒)(𝟒) = 𝟒 = 𝟏𝟔→√𝟏𝟔
𝟐
=𝟒 root of 16

and
(−𝟒)(−𝟒) = (−𝟒)𝟐 = 𝟏𝟔→√𝟏𝟔 = −𝟒 Negative square
root of 16

The square root of a positive real number can be positive or negative. Thus, in
order to avoid confusion on what square root is being asked, the positive
square root or principal square root of a positive real number x is denoted √𝒙,
while the negative square root of a positive real number x is denoted by −√𝒙 .
If both square roots are required, the notation becomes ±√𝒙.

For instance,
Positive and negative
±√𝟏𝟔 = ±𝟒 square root of 16

The expression ±4
is read as ‘positive
and negative 4’

What is the value of the side?

If the floor area of a house is 1,764 sq. meters, and the formula for finding the
area of a square is 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 = 𝑠2 , where s is a side, then, 𝑠2 = 1,764 sq. units.

WHAT IS IT

One way to help us answer the problem above is by extracting the square roots.
How? Let us take a look at the properties and examples.

.
This is one method that can be used to solve quadratic equations. It states
that if 𝑥 2 = 𝑐, then 𝑥 = √𝑐 or 𝑥 = −√𝑐 , where c is a real number.

WORDS NUMBERS ALGEBRA

To solve for 𝒙 in the c𝑥 2 = 17 If 𝒙𝟐 = 𝒄 and c is a

quadratic equation of c√𝑥 2 = √17 positive real number,
the form 𝒙𝟐 = 𝒄, take c𝑥 = ±√17 then 𝒙 = ±√𝒄
the square root of both
sides of the equation.

Example 1: USING SQUARE ROOTS TO SOLVE 𝑥 2 = 𝑐

Solve by extracting the square roots.
a. 𝑥 2 = 64
Solution: 𝑥 2 = 64
√𝑥 2 = √64
𝑥 = ±8

The solutions are 8 and -8

Example 2: USING SQUARE ROOTS TO SOLVE QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

Solution:
Solve by extracting the square roots.
Quadratic a. 𝑥 2 + 6 = 6
equation with
only one Solution:
solution. 𝑥2 + 6 = 6
𝑥 2 + 6 − 6 = 6 − 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
𝑥2 = 0 4
√𝑥 2 = ±√0 Take the square root of both sides
𝑥 = 0

The solution is 0.

b. 9𝑥2 + 16 = 0
Quadratic
equation with no Solution:
real solution.
9𝑥 2 + 16 = 0
9𝑥 2 + 16 − 16 = −16 Subtract 16 from both sides

9𝑥 2 = -16
9 9 Divide both sides by 9.
16
𝑥2 = −
9

16
√𝑥 2 = ±√− Take the square root of both sides.

16
𝑥 = ±√− The answer will not be a real number
9

There is no real solution.

(Since the square root of a negative radicand is an imaginary
number)

c. 2(𝑥 + 4)2 = 18

Solution:
2(𝑥 + 4)2 = 18
2 2 Divide both sides by 2.
Quadratic
(𝑥 + 4)2 = 9
equation with
two solutions.
√(𝑥 + 4)2 = ±√9 Take the square root of both sides.

𝑥 + 4 = ±3

𝑥+4=3 or 𝑥 + 4 = −3 Write two equations

using both the positive
5
and negative square
roots and solve each
equation.
 GRADE 9
Learning Module for Junior High School Mathematics

𝑥+4 − 4= 3 − 4 𝑥 + 4 − 4 = −3 − 4
𝒙 = −𝟏 or 𝒙 = −𝟕

The solutions are −𝟏 and −𝟕

WHAT’S MORE

Solve the following quadratic equations. Check the solutions.

1. 𝑥 2 − 49 = 0 4. 5(𝑥 + 7)2 = 1 125
2. 9𝑥 2 − 25 = 0 5. 𝑥 2 = 43
3. 4𝑥 2 + 1 = 5

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

Solving quadratic equations by extracting roots is applicable if the equation is in the

form 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑐 = 0 where 𝑎 and 𝑐 are real numbers and 𝑎 ≠ 0. Below are the steps in
solving this type of quadratic equation.
𝑐
1. Write the equation in the form: 𝑥 2 =
𝑎
2. Extract the square roots of both side of the equation. Put a ± sign before the
square root of the number. Use the ± roots to solve for the resulting equation.
3. Check your answer by substitution to see whether the equation is true.
