Lesson: Solving Quadratic Equations: Taking Square Roots Mathematics • 8th Grade

Students will be able to

• solve a suitable quadratic equation by using the square root property and verify the answers by substitution,
• understand that quadratics in this form can have zero, one, or two solutions,
• solve real-world problems by using the square root property on a quadratic and determine the valid solutions by considering the physical restrictions,
• solve a polynomial equation by rearranging it into a form that can be solved by applying the square root property.
