sq root x+7=x-5

#

Is it sqrt (x), or sqrt (x+7)

austere sleet
#

the x+7under the radical

near dawn
#

Start by squaring both sides of the equation, so all terms are real and rational

austere sleet
#

x^2-10x+25

#

=x+7

#

2^2-11x+18

#

x^2

idle cape
#

you should try to square root(x+7) and (x-5)

#

to take out all roots so its easier to work with

#

i got 9,2

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.

austere sleet
#

did i get it wrong

idle cape
#

im gonna check

#

youre solutions are 9 and 2

#

or 9,2

austere sleet
#

Im gonna kill myself for real

#

the answers are programmed wrong

#

😩

idle cape
#

u got it right

#

its 9 and 2

austere sleet
#

It says ten for multiple questions

#

i doubted myself whole time

idle cape
#

its 9 and 2

austere sleet
#

im cooked

idle cape
#

trust me

#

explain to me how u got your answers

idle cape
#

technically ye

fleet dirge
#

Well no not technically

#

Square root can't be negative

idle cape
#

if they work with imaginary numbers

fleet dirge
#

There's nothing you can do to get a square root to give a negative real number

#

Its only when you invert x^2

idle cape
#

right

#

sorry its getting late

fleet dirge
#

It's confusing because you would think that the square root is a perfect inverse of x^2

fleet dirge
#

Just making sure we don't have any incorrect solutions because we forgot

austere sleet
#

I hate my life

#

😩

idle cape
#

youre saying that sqrt of 9 cant equal -3

#

if we take 2 as an answe

fleet dirge

idle cape
#

hmm thank you

fleet dirge
#

$\sqrt{9} \neq -3$

hiidostuff

But (-3)^2 = 9

I trying to learn advanced stuff so i can rob banks

#

I gotta crack aes 256 encryption

fleet dirge
#

So real

austere sleet
#

The probability matrix on a sliding cipher tho must be insane

fleet dirge
#

I'm learning advanced stuff just bc I'm a nerd but

idle cape
#

juts learn how to derivates e^x and youre all set

fleet dirge
#

Pretty sure you can necessitate the definition of holomorphism by giving an example of a function that requires a more rigorous analysis on its continuity

#

And it involves that

If you start from an equation like $\sqrt{x+7} = x-5$,

you can recognise that the solutions must be restricted,

since we are solving over $x\in\mathbb{R}$, to values satisfying

two requirements: firstly, $x + 7 \ge 0$ (as no negative

real has a real square root); secondly, $x - 5 \ge 0$ (as

no real has a square root that is negative.

In other words, the solutions over this equation over

the reals must be both $x \ge -7$ and $x \ge 5$, which

combine to form a domain from which all the solutions

must come: $x\in\big[5,,\infty\big)$.

Rearranging the equation cannot cause solutions

outside this domain to become possible, and so any

such apparent solutions must be rejected.

WHAT

#

WHAT KINDA MAGIC IS THIS

IM COOKED

fleet dirge

You gotta know what types of a numbers a function can eat and spit out

\begin{align*} \sqrt{x+7} &= x-5 \qquad \text{noting $x\ge 5$} \ \left(\sqrt{x+7}\right)^2 &= \left(x-5\right)^2 \qquad \text{on squaring} \ x + 7 &= x^2 - 10x + 25 \qquad \text{recalling $(A-B)^2 = A^2 - 2AB + B^2$} \ 0 &= x^2 - 11x + 18 \ 0 &= (x-2)(x-9) \qquad \text{on factorising} \ x - 2 = 0 \qquad &\text{or} \qquad x - 9 = 0 \ x = 2 \qquad &\text{or} \qquad x = 9 \ \text{Hence,} \quad x &= 9 \qquad \text{is the only solution that is valid} \ &\qquad \qquad \text{as only it satisfies the requirement that $x\ge 5$.} \end{align*}
