Question

What is the first step in solving a quadratic equation of the form given below?

(ax + b)2 = c


A.Divide both sides by c
B.Use the zero product rule
C.Factor out a common factor
D.Take the square root of both sides

Answer 1

the answer is d,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Answer 2

Correct option is D.

Explanation:

Given the quadratic equation

`(ax+b)^2=c`

we have to define the first step in solving a quadratic equation.

To find the value of x we have make the equation linear i.e taking the square root on both sides as c is any constant.

If c is 0 the we use the zero product rule.

Hence, our first step in solving a quadratic equation of the form

`(ax+b)^2=c`

is to take the square root of both sides.

Correct option is D.
