Question

What is the solution to the equation x2=17/25

Answer 1

The solution to the given quadratic equation is
`x= + (√(17))/(5) \ or -(√(17))/(5)`

Solving quadratic equations.

The solution to quadratic equation can be determined by finding the factors that satisfies the quadratic equation. These factors are called the roots of the equation.

The general formula for the quadratic equation is: ax² + bx + c = 0. The highest degree of the quadratic equation is 2.

In the given question,
`x^2 =(17)/(25)`, to solve for x, we need to square both sides of the equation; i.e.

`√(x^2) =\sqrt{(17)/(25)}`

`x= \pm (√(17))/(√(25))}`

`x= \pm (√(17))/(5)`

`x= + (√(17))/(5) \ or -(√(17))/(5)`

Hence, the solution to the given quadratic equation is
`x= + (√(17))/(5) \ or -(√(17))/(5)`

Answer 2

The answer is x = ±√ 0.680
