Question

X^2=60, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

7.75 or 2√15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, you need to isolate it from any other operations.

In this case, you need to do the opposite of square, which is find the square root.

If you enter the square root of sixty into a calculator you should get 7.75, but if you want the simplified version you do this.

Find a perfect square factor of sixty...

60 = 15*4

4 is the perfect square, so if we want to find the square root of sixty, we can also do this....

√60 = √15 * √4

We know the square root of 4 is two, so that leaves the equation to look like this...

√60 = √15 * 2

which is the same as...

2√15

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2$\sqrt{15\\}$

$\sqrt{60\\}$Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this expression we need to isolate x.

This means since x is currently beng squared, we need to do the inverse to it

This means we need to find the square root.

So we root both sides of the equation.

root x^22=x

root 60 is $\sqrt{60$

which is $\sqrt{4*15}$

or 2$\sqrt{15\\}$

Therefore, x=2$\sqrt{15\\}$
