What is the first step in solving a quadratic equation of the form given below.(ax+b)^2=c A.) Take the square root of both sides.B.) Use the zero product rule.C.) Divide both sides by c.D.) Factor out the common factor.

Answer»

Answer:

Given the quadratic equation

(ax+b)^2=c(ax+b)

2

=c

we have to define the FIRST STEP in solving a quadratic equation.

To find the value of x we have make the equation linear i.e taking the square root on both sides as c is any constant.

If c is 0 the we use the ZERO product rule.

Hence, our first step in solving a quadratic equation of the form

(ax+b)^2=c(ax+b)

2

=c

is to take the square root of both sides.

Correct OPTION is D.
