No solutions.
Explanation:
Our goal is to isolate
We see that the equation has no solutions because the radical operator over
The answer is no solution.
Explanation:
Your goal here is to isolate the variable.
First, start by subtracting 2 from both sides, as such:
Then subtract 9 from both sides:
Now square both sides:
Then subtract 1 from both sides:
Finally, divided both sides by 2:
Plug the answer into the original equation to check if it is correct:
When plugged in, we can see that
No Real Solution
Explanation:
Begin by subtracting
Square both sides to eliminate the radical on the left side
Subtract
Divide both side by
However if we verify this by substituting
No solution for principle root
The convention is; that unless the question states
Explanation:
However, just for fun; lets investigate the scenario of
So
The convention states :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Given:
Write as
Subtract 11 from both sides
Clearly
However
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Square both sides
Which is not the the answer for the given question as written.
The graph clearly shows no solution for
