(5-x)^1/2=(x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\((5-x)^\frac{1}{2}=\sqrt{5-x}\) , so : \(\sqrt{5-x}^2=(x+1)^2\) => \(5-x=x^2+2x+1\), => \(x^2+3x-4=0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left( 5-x \right)^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}=x+1\] squaring both sides \[5-x=x ^{2}+2x+1,x^2+2x+1+x-5=0,x^2+3x-4=0\] 1*-4=-4 4-1=3 4*-1=-4 write 3x=4x-x and make factors to find the value of x Remember 5-x>=0,5>=x or \[x \le 5\]

Solve it as a Quadratic equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\Delta=(3)^2-4(1)(-4)=25\) \(x1=\frac{-3-5}{2}=\frac{-7}{2}\) \(x1=\frac{-3+5}{2}=1\)
