In-Depth Explanation:
√(x²-1)²= x²-1
Here we see that the √(x²-1)² can be simplified right off the bat.
Notice the (x²-1) is squared. Notice also that this squared expression is under a square root. When a something squared is under a square root, the square gets cancelled out.
Take a look at this:
√(x²-1)(x²-1)
It's the same thing as:
√(x²-1)²
Because squaring an expression or number means multiplying the expression or number by itself.
If we are to carry out the square root with the expression √(x²-1)(x²-1), it would simplify down to (x²-1) correct? The same concept can be applied to √(x²-1)². Since the square root is being taken of the expression (x²-1)² alone simplifies it down to (x²-1). Square roots cancel the squaring of expressions and numbers.
Please notice, however, that since the expression (x²-1) is squared, the square root only takes care of cancelling out the squaring of the expression (x²-1)², not the square inside of the expression (x²-1). This is due to the set of parentheses around the expression, signifying that square is squaring the WHOLE expression, not one specific part IN the expression.
Simple Explanation:
√(x²-1)²= x²-1
Square roots cancel out the squaring of the expression (x²-1)²
(x²-1)= x²-1
x²-1= x²-1
From here, we can see that both sides of the equation are identical.
x²-1= x²-1
Add +1 on boths sides to get rid of the 1s on boths sides.
x²-1+1= x²-1+1
x² = x²
Again, we can see that x² = x², but to boil it down even more we could subtract x² from both sides.
x²-x²= x²-x²
0 = 0
Both sides of this equation are equal.
