We know that
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>
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Given the expression
![\dfrac{\sqrt[7]{x^5} }{\sqrt[4]{x^2} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D%20%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%20%7D)
Note that
![\sqrt[7]{x^5}=x^{\frac{5}{7}} \\ \\\sqrt[4]{x^2}=x^{\frac{2}{4}}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D%3Dx%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B7%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%3Dx%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B4%7D%7D%3Dx%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D)
When dividing ![\sqrt[7]{x^5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D)
by ![\sqrt[4]{x^2},](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%2C)
we have to subtract powers (we cannot subtract 4 from 7, because then we get another expression), so
and the result is ![x^{\frac{3}{14}}=\sqrt[14]{x^3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B14%7D%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B14%5D%7Bx%5E3%7D)
2. Given equation ![3\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3} -4=20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%28x-2%29%5E3%7D%20-4%3D20)
Add 4:
![3\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3} -4+4=20+4\\ \\3\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3}=24](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%28x-2%29%5E3%7D%20-4%2B4%3D20%2B4%5C%5C%20%5C%5C3%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%28x-2%29%5E3%7D%3D24)
Divide by 3:
![\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3} =8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%28x-2%29%5E3%7D%20%3D8)
Rewrite the equation as:
Hence,
You would substitute 0.8 in for y and to get the equation 4x+8(0.8)=40. Then, you would simplify and get 4x+6.4=40. Next you would isolate x by subtracting 6.4 from both sides and get the equation 4x=33.6 and then you would divide both sides by 4 to get x=8.4.
The answer is : x=8.4
