Question

H(x)=(x+5)^2 if we solve h(x)=36

One of the possible values of x is 1
What is the other possible value of x?

Answer 1

x = - 11

Explanation:

Solving

(x + 5)² = 36 ( take square root of both sides )

x + 5 = ±
`√(36)` = ± 6 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = - 5 ± 6

Then

x = - 5 + 6 = 1

x = - 5 - 6 = - 11

The other solution is x = - 11
