What we can do is a + b + c = d ⟺ a = d − b − c ⟺ a = (d − b − c) 2 and then calculate the right hand side, then iterate the process by putting a square root on one side, then proceed as above until all square roots are gone.
How do you undo a square root?
Remember to square both sides of the equation, not just the terms.
- Original Equation: x = 2 x + 3 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {x}}=2x+3}
- Square both sides: ( x) 2 = ( 2 x + 3) 2 {\displaystyle ( {\sqrt {x}})^ {2}= (2x+3)^ {2}}
- Expand Expressions: x = 4 x 2 + 12 x + 9 {\displaystyle x=4x^ {2}+12x+9}
- The expression above was expanded through Polynomial Multiplication. ...
How do you reverse a square root?
Example 3
- Function f given by the formula above is an even function and therefore not a one to one if the domain is the set R. ...
- Write f as an equation, square both sides and solve for x, and find the inverse. ...
- We now apply the domain of f given by x ≤ -1 to select one of the two solutions above. ...
- Change x into y and y into x to obtain the inverse function. ...

Square Roots with Just One Variable
When you take the square root of a term that is "squared", your answer is the " base" of that term. Here's what I mean.
Simplifying the Square Root of the Product of a Number and a Variable
Let's look at another example where we simplify the square root of multiple factors. Take note of the variable z in this example. It must remain under the square root since it is z to the first power.
More Simplifying Square Roots with Multiple Variables
One last example. If you have a variable that is raised to an odd power, you must rewrite it as the product of two squares - one with an even exponent and the other to the first power. Check out the variable x in this example.
Key Strategy in Solving Quadratic Equations using the Square Root Method
The general approach is to collect all {x^2} terms on one side of the equation while keeping the constants to the opposite side. After doing so, the next obvious step is to take the square roots of both sides to solve for the value of x. Always attach the \pm symbol when you get the square root of the constant.
