1.2 Quadratic, Radical, and Absolute Value Equations
This summary of algebraic operations on complex numbers will prepare you for solving quadratic equations with no solutions and the related implications for graphing quadratic and polynomial functions.
This is a refresher on solving quadratic equations using factoring methods. This section assumes you have been exposed to methods for factoring previously.
This is a refresher on solving quadratic equations using the square root property. This section assumes you have been exposed to simplifying roots algebraically.
This is a refresher on using the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations. This section will introduce the discriminant and explain how to use it to classify the number and type of solutions to a quadratic equation. This analysis is an essential step in learning how to analyze the behavior of functions using algebraic and graphical methods.
This section explores solving different types of equations and analyzing solutions.
In this section, you will explore methods for solving absolute value equations and how to analyze solutions to determine their feasibility. This section will help you become familiar with the algebra of absolute value equations in preparation for functions.
This is a refresher on solving various radical equations and determining whether there are extraneous solutions. Radical is another term for root, so you will be solving equations that contain square roots.
