FactoringFactoring
xx22 + 5 + 5xx + 6 = 0 + 6 = 0
((xx + 2)( + 2)(xx + 3) = 0 + 3) = 0
xx + 2 = 0 or + 2 = 0 or xx + 3 = 0 + 3 = 0
xx = -2 or = -2 or xx = -3 = -3

The Square Root PropertyThe Square Root Property
55xx22 = 125 = 125
xx22 = 25 = 25 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate Divide both sides by 5 to isolate xx22
xx = ± = ± √√25 25 Apply the square root propertyApply the square root property
xx = ± 5 = ± 5 SimplifySimplify

SummarySummary
1.1. Try factoring Try factoring firstfirst because it is easier. because it is easier.2.2. Completing the Square and the Quadratic Completing the Square and the Quadratic
Formula can Formula can alwaysalways be used but they are a be used but they are a bit more difficult.bit more difficult.
3.3. If the equation is in the form If the equation is in the form (a(axx + b) + b)22 = c = c, use , use the square root property.the square root property.
