Solve Using the Square Root Property x^2=100

Problem

x2=100

Solution

1. Identify the equation as a quadratic in the form x2=k where k is a constant.

2. Apply the square root property by taking the square root of both sides of the equation.

3. Include both roots by adding a ± sign to the square root of the constant to account for both positive and negative solutions.

x=±√(,100)

4. Simplify the square root of 100 to find the final values for x

x=±10

Final Answer

x=±10
