Question

Equation álgebra
3x^2 = 12
a. +3
b. +2
C. +3.5
d. +1.5

Answer 1

x=-2,2

Explanation:

Since this is a quadratic equation, -2 or 2 could be the possible answer

Steps

$3x^2=12$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3$

$\frac{3x^2}{3}=\frac{12}{3}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$x^2=4$

$\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}$

$x=\sqrt{4},\:x=-\sqrt{4}$

Show Steps

$\sqrt{4}=2$

Show Steps

$-\sqrt{4}=-2$

$x=2,\:x=-2$
