Question

Solve the quadratic equation below using the Square Root Method.
negative 7 open parentheses x squared minus 10 close parentheses squared minus 6 equals negative 258

  1. 5, -5
  2. 6, -6
  3. 4, -4
  4. 2, -2

The correct answers are: 4, -4, 2, -2


    negative 7 open parentheses x squared minus 10 close parentheses squared minus 6 equals negative 258
    negative 7 open parentheses x squared minus 10 close parentheses squared minus 6 plus 6 equals negative 258 plus 6
    negative 7 open parentheses x squared minus 10 close parentheses squared equals negative 252
    fraction numerator negative 7 open parentheses x squared minus 10 close parentheses squared over denominator negative 7 end fraction equals fraction numerator negative 252 over denominator negative 7 end fraction
    open parentheses x squared minus 10 close parentheses squared equals 36
    square root of open parentheses x squared minus 10 close parentheses squared end root equals plus-or-minus square root of 36
    x squared minus 10 equals plus-or-minus 6
    Now we have to break up x squared equals plus-or-minus 6 plus 10 into two cases because of the "plus" or "minus" in 6.
    Solve the first case where 6 is positive.
    x squared equals 6 plus 10
    x squared equals 16
    square root of x squared end root equals plus-or-minus square root of 16
    x equals plus-or-minus 4
    Solve the second case where 6 is negative.
    x squared equals negative 6 plus 10
    x squared equals 4
    square root of x squared end root equals plus-or-minus square root of 4
    x equals plus-or-minus 2
    The solutions to this quadratic equations are x = 4, x = -4, and x = 2, x = -2 . Yes, we have four values of  that can satisfy the criginal quadratic equation.
