Question

(x+4)^2=15
solving by talking the square root

Answer 1

x = -4 + √15 and x = -4 - √15.

Explanation:

To solve for x in the equation (x + 4)^2 = 15 using square roots, we can take the square root of both sides of the equation, remembering to include both the positive and negative square root:

(x + 4)^2 = 15

Taking the square root of both sides:

±(x + 4) = √15

Now we can isolate x by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:

x + 4 = ±√15

x = -4 ±√15

Therefore, the solutions to the equation (x + 4)^2 = 15 are x = -4 + √15 and x = -4 - √15.
