Question

Solve each equation by using the root property. x^2+2=38

Answer 1

The equation that we have is:

`x^2+2=38`

now remember that for using the root property we need to have the x^2 alone, so we pass the 2 to the right side.

`\begin{gathered} x^2=38-2 \\ x^2=36 \end{gathered}`

now we can apply the root in the two sides of the equation:

`\sqrt[]{x^2}=\sqrt[]{36}`

and the exponent 2 is going to be cancel with the root, and the root of 36 is equal to 6.

`x=6`
