Solve the equation: \sqrt{(y+2)^(2) } = c

Question

Solve the equation:

`\sqrt{(y+2)^(2) } = c`

Answer 1

Not quite sure what you're meant to solve for, but my solution is below.

Explanation:

The square root of a value squared is the absolute value of that value, because squaring removes all negatives. Therefore:

`√((y+2)^2)=c`

`\mid y+2\mid=c`

`\mid y\mid =c-2`

Hope this helps!
