)²
Use the square root property of equality to solve(x – 3)2 = –4.The solutions are –1 or 71 or 53 ± 2i3 ± 4i.
Now, write x² - 16x + 64 = -8 as (x - 8)² = -16(x - 8)² = -8(x - 16)² = -16(x - 16)² = -8

Write the equation so that a = 1: x2 + x =
The solution to x2 – 10x = 24 is 7 or –72 + 2i or 2 – 2i12 or –2.
Complete the square to write 16t² - 96t + 48 = 0 as (t + 9)² = -3(t - 3)² = 6(t - 6)² = 12.

A student says that if 5x2 = 20, then x must be equal to 2. Do you agree or disagree with the student? Justify your answer.
I disagree with the student. While 2 is a solution, it is not the only possible value for x. Dividing both sides of the equation 5x^2 = 20 by 5 results in x^2 = 4. According to the square root property, taking the square root of both sides gives x = 2 or x = -2. Therefore, x could be -2 as well.
