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:
x² - 6x = -5
x = {1, 5}
Step-by-step explanation:
The square of a number minus six times a number equals negative five.
x² - 6x = -5
Add 5 to both sides
x² - 6x + 5 = 0
Factor
(x - 1)(x - 5) = 0
x = {1, 5}
Answer:
1.6 < x < 9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The smallest the third side can be is greater than the difference of the other two sides
x > 5.6 -4
x > 1.6
The largest the third side can be is less than the sum of the other two sides
x < 5.6 +4
x < 9.6
1.6 < x < 9.6
