Solving Equations Involving Squares and Square Roots

The video tutorial covers solving equations involving squares and square roots, emphasizing the concept of inverse operations. It explains how to solve linear equations by isolating variables using inverse operations, such as addition and subtraction. The tutorial then moves on to quadratic equations, demonstrating how to solve them by taking square roots and considering both positive and negative solutions. Finally, it addresses radical equations, showing how to solve them by squaring both sides to isolate the variable.

What is a quadratic equation, and how do you solve it?

Describe the steps to solve a radical equation where the variable is under the square root.
