Question

Solve. (x – 5)2 = 2

Answer 1

(x - 5)^2*

Answer 2

oh okay

Answer 3

Solve with using quadratic formuala

Answer 4

it is the same as: (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2 so your a is equal to x and b is 5. therefore you have: (x-5)^2=x^2-10x+25=2 --->x^2-10x+23=0

Answer 5

and you will solve for x now using the quadratic formula x = [ -b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a

Answer 6

okay then whats the answer simpflied
