Question

Solve the equation (y-10)^2=0

Answer 1

You would end up with y=10 because you’ll solve & see that the only way an exponent can be 0 is when the base is 0, so you end up getting rid of the exponent of 2 then you move 10 to the other side by adding since it’s a negative & you end up with Y=10.

Answer 2

y=10

Explanation:

(y-10)^2=0

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((y-10)^2)=sqrt(0)

y-10 =0

Add 10 to each side

y-10+10=0+10

y = 10
