Medal, Fan, and Testimonial!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!! Solve the equation and identify any extraneous solutions
\[2\sqrt{x} = -4\]
@damonte212
let me do that equation again |dw:1432128990428:dw|

@mathtastic101
\[\sqrt{-2i}\] Just a thought. Don't take it as completely correct
Can you show me how you got to that?

@Kentekai
I cheated and used a calculator hope this helps or is correct and stuff
Divide the 2 on both sides and you'll have \[\sqrt{x}=-2\] then square both sides to remove the radical and you'll end up with \[x=4\] My apologies
so what are the extraneous?
And that cannot be right anyway. it would be 2/x (that is the square root sign) -4. so it would be /x = 8 right?
Oh wait, i see what you did now. Okay, i still need extraneous solutions though.
Yeah
I thought it was -8 because -8/2=-4
one moment and I'll have the answer
Otay
Do you mind if I close this question? We can still type and stuff, but I have a few more I need answered.
Not a problem.
