Solve the following equation:
To solve the equation , we will follow these steps:
Let's work through each step:
Step 1: Expand each part of the equation:
Step 2: Combine the results to form a quadratic equation:
Combine terms in the equation:
Simplify further:
Rearrange to standard quadratic form:
Step 3: Solve using the quadratic formula:
The equation simplifies to .
Taking the square root of both sides gives the solutions:
.
Thus, the solution to the equation is .
Solve:
\( (2+x)(2-x)=0 \)
Rewrite it as to see the pattern (a+b)(a-b). This equals , which is much faster than FOIL!
Identify the coefficients: (coefficient -1), (coefficient +4), and (coefficient -5). Add them: -1 + 4 - 5 = -2, giving .
After simplification, we got , which rearranges to . This is a pure quadratic (no x term), so we just take square roots!
The ± symbol means "plus or minus." When we solve , we get two solutions: and .
No, because 29 is a prime number with no perfect square factors other than 1. So is already in simplest radical form.
