Solve Using the Square Root Property 2x^2=8

Problem

2*x2=8

Solution

1. Isolate the x2 term by dividing both sides of the equation by 2

x2=8/2

x2=4

2. Apply the square root property by taking the square root of both sides, remembering to include both the positive and negative roots.

x=±√(,4)

3. Simplify the square root of 4 to find the final values for x

x=±2

Final Answer

x=±2
