can someone help???
\[Simplify the radical x = \frac{ -3 \pm \sqrt{45} }{ 6 }\]
how can you simplify \[\Large \sqrt{45}\]
\[3\sqrt{5}\]
good
\[\Large x = \frac{ -3 \pm \sqrt{45} }{ 6 }\] \[\Large x = \frac{ -3 \pm 3\sqrt{5} }{ 6 }\] \[\Large x = \frac{ 3(-1 \pm \sqrt{5}) }{ 6 }\] \[\Large x = \frac{ -1 \pm \sqrt{5} }{ 2 }\]
thank you!
sure thing
@jim_thompson5910 Idk where I went wrong with this one. \[x = \frac{ 2 \pm \sqrt{84} }{ 8 } = \frac{ 2 \pm 2\sqrt{21} }{ 8 }\] How would you simplify it from here? I got \[x = \frac{ 2 \pm \sqrt{21} }{ 4 }\]
\[\Large x = \frac{ 2 \pm \sqrt{84} }{ 8 }\] \[\Large x = \frac{ 2 \pm 2\sqrt{21} }{ 8 }\] \[\Large x = \frac{ 2(1 \pm \sqrt{21}) }{ 8 }\] \[\Large x = \frac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{21} }{ 4 }\]
