Solve: x+x+5=5\(\sqrt{x}\) + \(\sqrt{x + 5}\) = 5

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Start with the given equation: \(\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x + 5} = 5\).
Isolate one of the square root terms, for example, \(\sqrt{x + 5} = 5 - \sqrt{x}\).
Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root on the right: \(\left(\sqrt{x + 5}\right)^2 = \left(5 - \sqrt{x}\right)^2\).
Simplify both sides: \(x + 5 = 25 - 10\sqrt{x} + x\).
Rearrange the equation to isolate the remaining square root term and then square both sides again to solve for \(x\).

주요 개념

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

Square Roots and Radicals

Square roots represent a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. Understanding how to manipulate and simplify expressions involving square roots is essential, especially when they appear in equations. Recognizing that √x denotes the principal (non-negative) root is important for solving radical equations.

Isolating and Squaring Both Sides

To solve equations involving square roots, one common method is to isolate the radical expression and then square both sides to eliminate the square root. This process can introduce extraneous solutions, so it is crucial to check all potential solutions in the original equation.

Solving Quadratic Equations

After squaring, the equation often becomes quadratic in form. Knowing how to solve quadratic equations using factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula is necessary to find the values of x. Verifying solutions against the original equation ensures only valid answers are accepted.
