Question

Solve by using the square root property. Write your answer in simplest radical form.

Answer 1

Answer: X = t or minus 4 square root 3 and X= 4 square root 3 Explanation: add 48 on both sides bring down x squared = 48 take the square root on both sides you get X= t or - 4 square root 3 and X=4 square root 3) Animex yw

Answer 2

Answer:

x = ±4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  x² = 48, find x.  Note that we must take the square root of both sides, and that there are 2 roots (solutions) because this is a second order equation.

√x² = ±√48

48 is not a perfect square, but it does factor into 16 (a perfect square) and 3 (not a perfect square).

Thus, x = ±4√3 (the last answer choice)
