Reorder the following steps for solving quadratics by square roots.

• REWRITE the equation as x² = n

• Take the SQUARE ROOT of both sides

• SIMPLIFY the radical. Place "±" to indicate both answers.

Solve the equation using the square roots method:

x² − 64 = 0

• x = ±8

• x = ±64

• x = ±32

• x = ±16

• x = ±4

Solve by taking square roots:

2b² - 4 = -166

• b = 9i, b = -9i

• b = 3, b = -3

• b = 9, b = -9

• b = 3i, b = -3i

Solve by taking the square root: -9k² = 225

• 4i

• 4, -4

• 25i, -25i

• -5i, 5i
