Question

Help please.... what is the solution of sqrt -4x=100? A- x=-2500 B-x=-50 C-x=-2.5 D-no solutions

Answer 1

The answer would be A, x=-2500

Step-by-step explanation:

To remove the radical on the left side of the equation, square both sides of the equation.

√ − 4 x^ 2 = 100^ 2

Simplify each side of the equation.

− 4 x = 10000

Divide each term by

−4

and simplify.

x = -2500

Answer 2

A. x = -2,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(-4x) = 100

(sqrt(-4x)^2 = (100)^2

-4x = 10,000

4x = -10,000

x = -2,500

Check your work...

sqrt(-4(-2,500))

= sqrt(4 * 2,500)

= sqrt(10,000)

= plus or minus 100

A. x = -2,500 is your answer.

Hope this helps!
