Question

Question 2. 2. Which of the following methods would be the easiest to use to solve x2 – 11 = 0?

(Points : 1)
factoring
all three methods would be easy and effective
isolating the x2 term and finding the square root of both sides
using the quadratic formula

Answer 1

your opinion?

Answer 2

Isolating the x terms?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

ok thank you I have a few more would you mind helping me with?

Answer 5

When I was in algebra class that's what we called the difference of two squares

Answer 6

\(x^2-11=0\)
\(x^2-11\color{red}{+11}=0\color{red}{+11}\)
\(x^2=11\)
\(x=\pm \sqrt{11}\)

Answer 7

Thank you!

Answer 8

well, I can do the quadratic formula with b=0, no trouble, but would i?

Answer 9

yw.....

Answer 10

so could you help me with a few more?

Answer 11

I'll try one more

Answer 12

3. Which of the following methods would be the easiest to use to solve x2 – 7 = 0?

(Points : 1)
all three methods would be easy and effective
factoring
isolating the x2 term and finding the square root of both sides
using the quadratic formula

Answer 13

Thank you so much you have no idea!

Answer 14

Same answer as the previous question.

Answer 15

ok so none of the others are easier?

Answer 16

Is this fair to ask because all of them are fine to use?

Answer 17

No - and the only difference between the 2 equations is the minus 11 changes to minus 7

Answer 18

ok thank you!

Answer 19

All will give you the answer but I think the easiest is " isolating the x2 term , etc

Answer 20

ok great thank you! I will try them because I really dont think it is fair to ask because all of them are pretty easy to use as well it is all a personal chose.

Answer 21

Okay - glad to help :-)
