Question

Describe each step taken to solve the equation. Then, check the solution to see if it is valid. If it is not a valid solution, explain why a) √x+6=4b)∛x+6=4.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

a) √x + 6 = 4                                                    

to solve the above equation subtract both side with 6

    √x + 6 - 6  = 4 - 6                  

                √x  = -2                  

squaring both side

                (√x)² = (-2)²              

                       x = 4            

a) ∛x + 6 = 4                                            

to solve the above equation subtract both side with 6

    ∛x + 6 - 6  = 4 - 6

                ∛x  = -2

cubing  both side

                (√x)³ = (-2)³

                      x = -8
