Solving Quadratic Equations WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is designed to encourage learners to focus on providing two solutions where appropriate to a quadratic equation. The quadratics can be solved without the need for factorising, just equation balancing using inverse operations.

Section A begins by presenting equations in the form x2 = a and -x2 = -a.

Section B then extends this by adding a coefficient or including a squared bracket.

Section C adds some additional steps to the rearrangements required and finally, section D presents a mixed exercise based on the previous sections.
