Which of the equations below can be solved by square roots? How would you solve the other equation? Explain your reasoning. Give the solutions to both equations. Equation A: x? - 9x = 0 Equation B : x2-9=0​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Equation A is factoring, x=9 and x=0

Equation B is the square root, x=3

The equation A:  x² - 9 = 0 can be solved by square root method

The equation B: x²  -  9x = 0 can only be solved by factoring

The given equations are:

Equation A:    x²  -  9x = 0

Equation B:    x²  -  9 = 0

The equation x² - 9 can be rewritten as:

x²  -  3² = 0

This is a difference of two squares which can be further expressed as:

(x  -  3)(x + 3) = 0

x  - 3  =  0

x  =  3

x  +  3  = 0

x  =  -3

This shows that the equation x² - 9 = 0 has two roots x = -3 and x = 3

Also, from x² - 9 = 0

[tex]x = \pm\sqrt{9} \\\\x = \pm3[/tex]

For the equation x²  -  9x = 0

This can be factored as x(x - 9) = 0

x  = 0,  x = 9

This is not solved by the square root method.

Therefore, the equation x² - 9 = 0 can be solved by square root method
