Question

Here are two steps from the derivation of the quadratic formula.
What took place between the first step and the second step?

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It took the square root for both sides, that way the left side is left without the exponent and the right side is applied the square root. That is necessary in order to solve the equation for X

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

In the second step, the term on the LHS lost its power which is possible by FINDING ITS SQUARE ROOT(since it was^2). That was done in order to look for one set of terms and not two.

The RHS on the other hand had square root added to the terms to make it equal because what is done on th LHS must be done on the RHS and vice versa.

PS

LHS=Left Hand Side

RHS=Right Hand Side

I don't know if you understand what I said but I am sorry if you do not, as it was quite difficult to explain so I may not want to do so again.

I think you should ask someone face to face so it can be explained better(if you don't understand)
