4. x 2−50=0
5. x 2+ 25=0
Possible Answer: The equations are quadratic because the highest exponent is 2.
Now, we are going to talk about solving quadratic equations by extracting square
root.
Analysis
In the quadratic equations above, we will notice that it has no linear term that can be seen. If
that is so, we can solve those quadratic equations by extracting square root. How? Let us follow
these steps.
1. Isolate the quadratic term and make sure that its coefficient is 1.
2. Take the square root both sides of the equation
3. Simplify when necessary.
Let us have an example:
2
1. x −25=0

Steps: x =25 - isolate the quadratic term.
2. 4 x 2=49 4. x 2−50=0

Quadratic equation in the form of a x 2 +c=0 (no linear term) can be solved using extracting
square root. Furthermore, a quadratic equation written in the form a ( x ± c )2−k=0can be
solved also by extracting square root.
Steps in solving quadratic equations by extracting square root
1. isolate the quadratic term and make sure that its coefficient is 1.
Abstraction
2. Take the square root both sides of the equation
3. Solve for x then, simplify when necessary.
Note: when you notice that in the process of your solution, you have seen a negative
number under the square root sign, do not continue anymore your solution instead write
“no real number solution” as your final answer.

SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS BY EXTRACTING SQUARE ROOT
A quadratic equation of the form a x 2 +c=0 or a ( x ± c )2 +k =0 can be solved by extracting square root. The extracting
square root states that if x 2=c ,then the solution set is √ c or −√ c ,which can be abbreviated as ± √ c . To solve quadratic
equation by extracting square root, do the following:
