Activity / Strategy There are equations that are not quadratic when you look at them, but you can rewrite or
transform them to look like quadratic equations. For examples:
1. 3 x 4−4 x 2+ 1=0
2. x−3 √ x−4=0
3. ( x +3 )2−2 ( x+3 )−3=0
If you can transform them into a quadratic equation, then you can solve them the way you
solve a quadratic equation.

To solve the equation 3 x 4−4 x 2+ 1=0 , you need to rewrite x 4 as ( x 2 ) and the equation
2
becomes 3 ( x 2 ) −4 x2 +1=0and then determine the substitution to be used for x 2 . Use
another variable in place for x 2 .
Let u=x2
So, the equation now becomes 3 u2−4 u+1=0. Solve this equation using any method you
learned in solving quadratic equation. If you solve this by factoring, here is the process

3 u −4 u+1=0
( 3 u−1 ) ( u−1 )=0 Factor the quadratic expression.
3 u−1=0 , u−1=0 Equate each factor to zero (Zero – product property)

The obtained values of uare not yet the solutions of the given equation, 3 x 4−4 x 2+ 1=0.
You know a while ago that you made a representation that u=x2 . Solve u=x2 for x but
replace first uby the values you obtained above.

Note: In solving equation transformable to quadratic, the first thing you must do is to check if
the equations are reduceable to quadratic form and then use the substitution method to convert them
into quadratic equations. You solve the new equation to find the variable’s value and then substitute it
back to the original equation to get the solution you want. In most cases, check the exponents of the
given equation. It is probably reducible to quadratic form if it is twice the other.
You obtained two values of x but only 16 can be considered as root or solution. Because when
x=1the original equation will not satisfy (equation is not balance) and 1 is considered
an extraneous root.
Solve for x : ( x +3 )2−2 ( x +3 )−3=0
Answer: {-1,0}
Equation transformable to quadratic equation is an equation that can be expressed in the form
a u +bu+ c=0. a ≠ 0and u is an algebraic expression
