The square root property<span> is one method that is used to find the solutions to a quadratic equation. This method involves taking the square roots of both sides of the equation. </span>(x – 3)² – 32 = 17-------> (x – 3)² = 17+32-----------> (x – 3)² = 49 (x – 3)² = 7²--------> <span>will take the square root of each side </span>so √(x – 3)²=(+-)√7²------> <span>notice the use of the </span> sign (+-), this will give us both a positive and<span> a negative root </span> then
x-3=7--------> x=10 x-3=-7-------> x=-4
the answer Part a) is x=10 x=-4
Part b) Explain why the given equation has two solutions.
the answer part b) is Because exist<span> the possibility of two roots for every square root, one positive and one negative</span>
