Question

What are the solution(s) to the quadratic equation 50 – x2 = 0? x = ±2 x = ±6 x = ±5 no real solution btw i just clicked the last choice on accident

Answer 1

50-x^2=0
Move the x^2 to the other side
x^2=50
Now take the square root of both sides
x=+_(50)^1/2 (^1/2 means square root)(+_ is plus or minus. Sorry XD)
Now simplify the square root
X=+_5(2)^1/2
Voila. The answer is C

Answer 2

Option C

Explanation:

we need to find the solution(s) to the quadratic equation 50 – x^2 = 0

50 – x^2 = 0

Subtract 50 from both sides

– x^2 = -50

Now divide by -1 from both sides

x^2 = 50

To remove square , take square root on both sides

`x=+-√(50)`

`x=+-√(25*2)`

`x=+-5√(2)`

Option C is the answer
