Question 1 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation 4x2 = 64?

Answer
A
x = −16 and x = 16
B
x = −8 and x = 8
C
x = −4 and x = 4
D
x = −2 and x = 2

Explanation

Divide both sides of 4x² = 64 by 4 to get x² = 16. Taking the square root gives x = −4 or x = 4, since both values square to 16. The correct choice is C, x = −4 and x = 4.
