MATH11 WEEK5

The thing that I learned this week are solving radical equations and factoring polynomial expressions.

The left side is equal to the right side, so the solution is: x=20

Taking a square root is the inverse of squaring.

These inverse operations are used to solve radical equations.

Step:

1.Isolate the radical

2.Square both sides

3.Solve for X

4.Check for Extraneous roots by substituting.

 

(√5x-9)-2=7

5x-9>0

x>1.8

(√5x-9)-2=9

5x-9=81

5x=90

x=18
