Dont remember how to do this one...

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Solve the equation by the square root property. (x-9)^2=9

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

square root property so you should take square root both sides to cancel out the square

Nnesha (nnesha):

square root and square cancel each other out bec you can convert square root to 1/2 exponent \[\huge\rm\sqrt{x}=x^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\] so when you take square \[(x^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })^2\] both 2 cancels out then you have left with just x so that's why we should take square root to cancel out square and square to cancel out the square root

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Ummm okay?

Nnesha (nnesha):

so take square root both sides what did you get ?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Sorry but I dont understand

Nnesha (nnesha):

thats fine so what u didn't understand ?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Um basically everything you said :/

Nnesha (nnesha):

otay so take square root both sides to cancel out the square \[\huge\rm \sqrt{(x-9)^2}=\sqrt{9}\]

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Ohhh okay

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

That turns into- x-9= +- 3

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

x=9 +- 3

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

The solution set is 6 and 12

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm x-9 = \pm 3\] so x-9 = -3 and x-9 =3

Nnesha (nnesha):

yep

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Wow I didnt remember that at all till you showed me with the square root. Lol thank you again

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I might be asking for more of your help later. Im on question 4 out of 23 -.-

Nnesha (nnesha):

ohh np and sure1
