read moreOverview Division of rational expressions is similar to division of real numbers. In order to divide by a rational expression, the rational expression is changed to its reciprocal, then multiplied.…
read moreOverview The square root property is an important shortcut to use when solving quadratic equations, or any equation that asks for square roots and powers of 2. It uses the…
read moreOverview Exponents are expressed as numbers or variables in superscript above a base number. When the exponent is equal to or greater than 2, it directs how many times the…
read moreOverview Many quadratic equations can be solved by a process called “completing the square.” The process uses the definitions of square roots, as well as the principles of adding or…
read moreOverview A factor is an even divisor of another number or expression. For example, 3 is a factor of 12 because 12 can be evenly be divided by 3. The…
read moreOverview Many quadratic trinomials follow a pattern that can be used to factor them. These patterns include the patterns for perfect square trinomials, the pattern for the difference of squares,…
read moreOverview Although the Quadratic Formula can be used to solve quadratic equations, or show that the equation has no solution, it is not always necessary to use it. Some quadratic…
