\[\sqrt{z^2+5}-2=z\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no solution

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

no; 1/4 is the answer:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 1/4; I did -5 instead of +5

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

\[\sqrt{z^2+5}-2=z\]\[\implies \sqrt{z^2+5}=z+2.\]\[\implies z^2+5=z^2+4z+4.\]\[\implies 4z =1 \implies z = \frac{1}{4}.\]
