Solve the quadratic equation by the square root property 2x
Solve the quadratic equation by the square root property. (2x + 5) 2 = 49
A. {-6, 1}
B. {0, 1}
C. {-27, 27}
D. {1, 6}
Solution
We have
(2x+5)^2 = 49
So,we have
2x+5 = 7, 2x+5 = -7
If 2x+5 = 7
x= 1
If 2x+5 = -7
x= -6
So, roots are (-6,1)
Option A is correct
