f(?)=16
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Step 1: Set up the equation from the function definition.
Step 2: Solve the equation by taking the square root of both sides.
Step 3: Identify all possible values for x.
Step 4: Compare with the given answer choices.
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We start with the equation given by the function f(x)=x2. We know f(?)=16, so we can write:

We have x2=4.
Step 2: Solve by taking the square root of both sides:
Taking the square root, we get x=±4.
Step 3: Simplify to find the values of x:
The square root of 4 is 2, thus x=2 and x=−2.
Therefore, the solutions for x are x=2 and x=−2.
The correct answer is choice Answers a + b, which corresponds to having solutions x=2 and x=−2.
Answer
Answers a + b
Exercise #4
What is the value of X for the function?
y=x2
of the point y=16?
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
To solve this problem, let's find the steps required to determine x when y=16 in the function y=x2:
Step 1: Substitute the given y into the equation to get x2=16.
Step 2: To solve x2=16, take the square root of both sides, remembering to include both positive and negative roots. This yields x=±16.
Step 3: Simplify to find x=±4, which gives the solutions x=4 and x=−4.
Thus, the value(s) of x that satisfy y=16 in the function y=x2 are x=4 and x=−4.
Therefore, the solution to the given problem is x=4,x=−4.
Answer

Exercise #5
What is the value of X for the function?
y=x2
of the point y=36?
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
To solve the problem, we will proceed with the following steps:
Identify the provided equation and condition.
Apply the square root property to solve the equation.
Verify the solution with the given choices.
Step-by-step solution:
Step 1: Substitute y=36 into the equation y=x2, which gives:
x2=36
Step 2: Solve for x by taking the square root of both sides. Using the square root property, we have:
x=±36
Since the square root of 36 is 6, we find that:
x=±6
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are x=6 and x=−6.
Thus, the value of x for y=36 in the function y=x2 is x=±6.
Answer
x=±6
