Q:
Solve each radical equation. Be sure to check your solutionsa)√(x²-5)=2b)√(x²+8x)=3
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:a) x = 3b)x = 1,-9Step-by-step explanation:given, a)√(x²-5) = 2.................(1) squaring both side in equation 1 (√(x²-5))² = 2² x² - 5 = 4 x² = 9 x = 3 b) √(x²+8x)=3 .........................(2)squaring both side in equation 2 (√(x²+8x))² = 3² x²+8 x = 9 x²+8 x - 9 = 0 x² + 9 x - x - 9 = 0 x(x + 9) -1 (x + 9) = 0 ( x - 1)(x + 9) = 0 x = 1,-9
