Solve (x-4)^2=5

answer: (x=5+√4


Sagot :

Answer:

x = 4 + sqrt 5

x = 4 - sqrt 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(X-4)^2 = 5

X - 4 = + - sqrt 5

X = 4 + sqrt 5 and

X = 4 - sqrt 5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the square root of each side of the equation to set up the solution for x

[tex](x-4)^{2*\frac{1}{2} } =[/tex] ±[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Remove the perfect root factor x - 4 under the radical to solve for x.

x - 4 = ±[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the ± to find the first solution.

[tex]x-4=\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Add 4 to both sides of the equation.

[tex]x=\sqrt{5} +4[/tex]

Next, use the negative value of the ± to find the second solution.

[tex]x-4=-\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Add 4 to both sides of the equation.

[tex]x=-\sqrt{5} +4[/tex]

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

[tex]x=\sqrt{5} +4,-\sqrt{5} +4[/tex]
