Question

Solve (x - 3)^2=5A. X= 5 +- square root sign 3B. X= -3 +- square root sign 5C. X= 3 +- square root sign 5D. X=8 and x= -2

Answer 1

Solving for x, we have:

`\begin{gathered} \mleft(x-3\mright)^2=5 \\ x-3=\pm\sqrt[]{5}\text{ (Taking the square root of both sides)} \\ x=\pm\sqrt[]{5}+3\text{ (Adding 3 to both sides of the equation)} \\ \text{The answer is the option C.} \end{gathered}`
