√(17/2)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[\sqrt{\frac{17}{2}}\]that?

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

yes

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[\frac{\sqrt{34}}{2}\]

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

what if i had this:

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

(x-5)^2=√(17/2)

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

wait how did you get that?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i did by Rationalizing Denomiator.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[x^2-10 x+25 = \sqrt{\frac{17}{2}}\]

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

\[x=5 \pm \sqrt{34}/2\] <--- would that be my answer?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i think there is some mistake.

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

here is the original problem: 2(x-5)^2=17

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Oh, you mistyped. \[x-5 = \frac{17}{2}\]\[x = \frac{17}{2}+5\]

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i think u can solve now.
