\[\sqrt{x+10}=x-2\]
(Take note: For \(\sqrt{x+10}\) to be defined, you must have \(x\ge-10\).)
Start off by squaring both sides:
\[\left(\sqrt{x+10}\right)^2=(x-2)^2\\
x+10=(x-2)^2\\
x+10=x^2-4x+4\\
x^2-5x-6=0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the next line
0=-6x+1x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then zero principle property?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You're right about the zero product property, but not with what you wrote. I think you meant to factor:
\[(x-6)(x+1)=0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hey will you give me a problem to see if i get it on each step....only if im wrong you correct me

but on that one the ultimate answer is x=1 and x=6?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Close: x=-1 and x=6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i need to pay closer attention to pos and neg
OpenStudy (anonymous):
!hey will you give me a problem to see if i get it on each step....only if im wrong you correct me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Try this one
\[\sqrt{x-1}=-(x+1)\]

x-1=(x+1)^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, so far so good
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x-1=x^2+2x-1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
+1 at the end of the right side
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x+1=0 and x+1=0?

x^2+x+2=0\]
Actually, it turns out you can't factor this easily. Have you learned the quadratic equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold one moment....let me try work this one out on paper
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dude you have a negative one on the outside of the right side of radical eq?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im lost on this one

can we try a diffrent one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ah, sorry I got ahead of myself. There is no (real) solution to the equation I gave you.
Try this one instead:
\[x-3=\sqrt{5x+11}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok 1 sec
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0=x^2-11x-20
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait, something's not right... I must have made a mistake while coming up with the equation...

but my steps were right though werent they
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes they were. I'll figure out what went wrong on my end.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no need
OpenStudy (anonymous):
instead come up with new one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
maybe sq rt4x+1is what u meant

No, I had something else in mind. It was supposed to be \(x+3\) on the left side.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Anyway, here's another:
\[\sqrt{x+4}=x+2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x+3= square rt of 4x+11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=0 and x=-3?

Right, but check those solutions.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Only one of them works.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\(x=-3\) isn't a real solution. Can you see why?
\[\sqrt{-3+4}=-3+2~?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i see why
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lets try another
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x+6=\sqrt{-x}\]
this one also involves a solution that doesn't quite work.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
one moment
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^2+13x+36=0

You can factor that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
one moment
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=-9 only checks out to be true the other was -4 but is false
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Are you sure about that?
\[-9+6=\sqrt{-(-9)}\\
-3=\sqrt9\\
-3\not=3\]
\(x=-9\) is not a real solution.
\[-4+6=\sqrt{-(-4)}\\
2=\sqrt4\\
2=2\]
\(x=-4\) is a real solution.
