Answer:
Smallest x -14
Larger x 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+7)^2 -49=0
Add 49 to each side
(x+7)^2 -49+49=0+49
(x+7)^2 = 49
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x+7)^2) = ±sqrt(49)
x+7 = ±7
Subtract 7 from each side
x+7-7 = -7±7
x = -7±7
x = -7 -7 x = -7+7
x = -14 x =0
Smallest x -14
Larger x 0
Answer:
Smaller [tex]x=-14[/tex]
Larger [tex]x=0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex](x+7)^2-49=0[/tex]
[tex](x+7)^2=49[/tex] (add 49 to both sides)
[tex]\sqrt{(x+7)^2} =\sqrt{49}[/tex]
Knowing that [tex]7*7=49[/tex] and [tex]-7*-7=49[/tex]
[tex]x+7=7[/tex] or [tex]x+7=-7[/tex]
Solving for [tex]x+7=7[/tex] first...
[tex]x=0[/tex] (subtract 7 from both sides)
Solving for [tex]x+7=-7[/tex]
[tex]x=-14[/tex] (subtract 7 from both sides)
