Solve x^2+2x-4, leaving your answer in the simplist surd form. (4marks)

  1. Simplist surd form means use Quadratic equation

  2. Write out Quadratic equation

  3. Write out value of a, b and c

  4. Fit these values into equation

Now the maths starts. Area's where students are likely to make mistakes are with use of signs (+ or -) and with simplifying surd.
