x² = 98

⇔ x = ± √98

⇔ x = ±√(49 × 2)

⇔ x = ±√(7² × 2)

⇔ x = ±7√2

Hello!

Answer:


\Large \boxed{\sf x = \pm7 √(2)}

Explanation:

→ We want to solve:


\sf x^2=98

◼ We know that if
\sf x^2 = a, then
\sf x = \pm√(a):


\sf x = \pm√(98)

Simplify the right side:


\sf x = \pm√(49 * 2 )


\sf x = \pm√(7^2 * 2 )


\sf x = \pm(√(7^2 ) * √(2))


\sf x = \pm({7 * √(2))


\boxed{\sf x = \pm7 √(2)}

Conclusion:

The solution of the equation x² = 98 is ±7√2.
