What are the solutions to the equation y² –1 = 24? Choose all answers that are correct. A. 5 B. 12.5 C. –5 D. –12.5 C?

OpenStudy (decentnabeel):

\[y^2-1=24\] \[\mathrm{Subtract\:}24\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\] \[y^2-25=0\]

OpenStudy (decentnabeel):

@Spicytaco1 can you solved the Equation

OpenStudy (spicytaco1):

B?

OpenStudy (decentnabeel):

no

OpenStudy (decentnabeel):

Solve the Equation using factoring and completing square and quardaic formula... use any method

OpenStudy (spicytaco1):

a and c

OpenStudy (spicytaco1):

y = +5 and y = -5

OpenStudy (spicytaco1):

can you help me with one more?

OpenStudy (decentnabeel):

yes

OpenStudy (spicytaco1):

ok

OpenStudy (spicytaco1):

What are the square roots of 484? A. −12 and 12 B. −18 and 18 C. −22 and 22 D. −242 and 242

OpenStudy (decentnabeel):

\[\sqrt{484}\] \[\mathrm{Factor\:the\:number:\:}\:484=22^2\] \[=\sqrt{22^2}\] \[\sqrt{22^2}=22\]
