alleryStart learning →The Square Root Property is described as applying to quadratic equations written in which form?
AA product of two factors
BA sum of three terms
CA ratio of polynomials
DA squared term equals k
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A squared term equals k
1. Each solution method has its own required form.
2. Some quadratic equations are already solved by factoring.
3. The Square Root Property is applied to equations of the form ax squared equals k.
4. Taking the square root of both sides then isolates the variable.
5. That gives two solutions, a value and its opposite.
