If x2 = 20, what is the value of x?


Answer:
x= 4.47 and x=-4.47
Step-by-step explanation:
Given [tex]x^2=20[/tex]
To solve for x we take square root on both sides
square root (x^2) is x
we use calculator to find square root (20)
[tex]\sqrt{20} = 4.47[/tex]
When we take square root we use +-
so we will get two values for x
x= +- 4.47
two x values are x= 4.47 and x=-4.47
