how to solve 4=2x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x^2=4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i divide each side by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try dividing both sides of the equation by a number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2=x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then, take the square root of both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got x=1.414 is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean \[x=\sqrt{2}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the square root of two is 1.414

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is correct. \[2x^2=4\]'s solution is \[x=\sqrt{2}\].
