Solve each equation in Exercises 15–34 by the square root property. 5x2=45 5x^2 = 45

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Start with the given equation: \(5x^2 = 45\).
Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to isolate \(x^2\): \(x^2 = \frac{45}{5}\).
Simplify the right side: \(x^2 = 9\).
Apply the square root property, which states that if \(x^2 = a\), then \(x = \pm \sqrt{a}\): \(x = \pm \sqrt{9}\).
Simplify the square root to find the two possible values for \(x\).

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Square Root Property

The square root property states that if x² = k, then x = ±√k. This method is used to solve quadratic equations that can be written in the form x² = a constant. It involves isolating the squared term and then taking the square root of both sides, remembering to include both positive and negative roots.

Isolating the Variable Term

Before applying the square root property, the equation must be manipulated so that the squared term stands alone on one side. This often involves dividing or multiplying both sides of the equation to simplify it. For example, dividing both sides of 5x² = 45 by 5 isolates x².

Simplifying Square Roots

After taking the square root of both sides, simplifying the radical expression is necessary. This includes factoring out perfect squares from under the root to write the answer in simplest form. For instance, √9 simplifies to 3, which makes the solution clearer and more exact.
