The third method of solving quadratics is to simply use the square root, but there’s a danger here: you still have two solutions. The + is built into the quadratic formula, but it still needs to be added here. And that falls to you, the solver!
Today’s lesson also included a brief revisit to word problems, this time resulting in a quadratic equation.
