What is the solution to the equation sqrt(x^2+2x-25)=sqrt(x+5)?

We have to decide if the square root is the radical sign, meaning the principal square root, or a multivalued square root.

Let's assume this is the radical sign applied to the radicands, indicating both sides are the principal square root.

\sqrt{x^2 + 2x - 25}= \sqrt{x+5}

In this case, dealing with the principal values, it's ok to square both sides. Both sides are positive (or a positive number times i); we won't introduce extraneous roots.

x^2 + 2x - 25 = x+5

x^2+ x -30 = 0

(x-5)(x+6)=0

Answer: x=5 or x=-6

Check:

\sqrt{5^2+2(5)-25}=\sqrt{10}

\sqrt{5+5}=\sqrt{10} \quad\checkmark

\sqrt{(-6)^2 + 2(-6) - 25} = \sqrt{-1} = i

\sqrt{-6+5}=\sqrt{-1}=i \quad\checkmark

I suppose it depends what grade you're in as to whether you'll accept x=6 as a solution.

Answer (restricting ourselves to real square roots): x=5

Dmitry [639]
 add the fractiosn together, since they all have the same denominator, simply add the numerators
1/4+2/4+3/4=6/4
or
1 1/2 yards of fabric (2/4 = 1/2)

The weights (to the nearest pound) of some boxes to be shipped are found to be:. Weight 65 68 69 70 71 72 90 95 frequency 1 2 5
Lena [83]
So the mean is 72.97

We need to subtract the mean from each value and square it.
(65-72.97)^2= 63.5209
(68-72.97)^2=24.7009
(69-72.97)^2=15.7609
(70-72.97)^2=8.8209
(71-72.97)^2= 3.8809
(72-72.97)^2=0.9409
(90-72.97)^2=290.0209
(95-72.97)^2=485.3209

Now we add up the new values ( also consider their frequency) and find their mean.
Add the values
63.5209+(2 •24.7009=49.4018)+(5•15.7609=78.8045)+(8•8.8209=70.5672)+(7•3.8809=27.1663)+(3•0.9409=2.8227)+(2•290.0209=580.0418)+(2•485.3209=970.6418)= 1,842.967
Divide by total numburs to find the mean
1,842.967/ 30=61.43223333

The standar deviation is the square root of the mean so is
Square root of 61.43223333=7.837871735
Round to the nearest tenth
Standard Deviation is 7.8
