👉Learn how to solve quadratic equations using the square root method.  It is important to understand that not all quadratics have to be solved using factoring or quadratic formula.  When we only have one variable but it is squared we can just use inverse operations to isolate the variable.  The inverse operation of squaring is taking the square root.  Hence why we call this the square root method. All equations can be solved using the square root method but when there is more than one variable we have to complete the square first.
