Question
Solve the given quadratic equations by using the square root property.$$\left(x-\frac{5}{2}\right)^{2}=100$$
Step 1
The square root property states that if $x^{2}=a$, then $x=\sqrt{a}$ or $x=-\sqrt{a}$. Applying this to our equation gives us: $$x-\frac{5}{2}=\sqrt{100} \text{ or } x-\frac{5}{2}=-\sqrt{100}$$ Show more…
