Question

Find the solutions to the equation below.

16x2 - 64 = 0
A. X=-4
B. X= 4
C. X = -2
D. X=-8
E. X= 2
F. X=-64

Answer 1

C. X = -2

E. X = 2

Explanation:

16(-4)² = 64

16(16) = 64

256 = 64 (false)

16(4)² = 64

16(16) = 64

256 = 64 (false)

16(-2)² = 64

16(4) = 64

64 = 64 (true)

16(-8)² = 64

16(64) = 64

1024 = 64 (false)

16(2)² = 64

16(4) = 64

64 = 64 (true)

16(-64)² = 64

16(4096) = 64

65356 = 64 (false)
