Given: The equation below


x^2+5=41

To Determine: The value of x using square roots

Solution

Step1: subtract 5 from both sides


\begin{gathered} x^2+5-5=41-5 \\ x^2=36 \end{gathered}

Step 2: Take square roots of both sides


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{x^2}=\sqrt[]{36} \\ x=\pm6 \end{gathered}

Hence, the solution of equation using square root is ±6
