7 + 2 7 – 2
7 – 2
= 21 – 3 2
49 – 7 + 7 – 2 2 2
= 21 – 3 247
EXAMPLE 3 Solve a quadratic equation
Solve 3x2 + 5 = 41.
3x2 + 5 = 41 Write original equation.
3x2 = 36 Subtract 5 from each side.
x2 = 12 Divide each side by 3.
x =
+ 12 Take square roots of each side.
x =
+ 4 3
x =
+ 2 3
Product property
Simplify.
EXAMPLE 3 Solve a quadratic equation
ANSWER
The solutions are and 2 3 2 3–
Check the solutions by substituting them into the original equation.
3x2 + 5 = 413( )2 + 5 = 412 3
?
41 = 413(12) + 5 = 41
?
3x2 + 5 = 413( )2 + 5 = 41 – 2 3
?
41 = 413(12) + 5 = 41
?
EXAMPLE 4 Standardized Test Practice
SOLUTION
15
(z + 3)2 = 7 Write original equation.
(z + 3)2 = 35 Multiply each side by 5.
z + 3 = + 35 Take square roots of each side.
z = –3 + 35 Subtract 3 from each side.
The solutions are –3 + and –3 – 35 35
