Lesson 10: Extraction of Roots

This lesson introduces quadratic equations and graphs. Equations of the form \(ax^2 + c = 0\) are solved via extraction of roots. Later application problems involving volume and surface area and compound interest (problems of the form \(a(x - p)^2 = q\) are presented.
