The Deep Dive
To solve the equation \((x-5)^{2}=3\) using the square root property, we start by taking the square root of both sides. Remember to consider both the positive and negative roots: \[ x - 5 = \sqrt{3} \quad \text{or} \quad x - 5 = -\sqrt{3}. \] Now, we isolate \(x\) by adding 5 to both equations: 1. \( x = 5 + \sqrt{3} \) 2. \( x = 5 - \sqrt{3} \) So the solutions are \( x = 5 + \sqrt{3} \) and \( x = 5 - \sqrt{3} \). To express these solutions in decimal form: - \( 5 + \sqrt{3} \approx 6.732 \) - \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \approx 3.268 \) And there you have it—two elegant solutions to your equation!
