\( x = 5, -3 \)
Solución
1. Start with the given equation:
\[
(x-1)^2 = 16
\]
2. Apply the square-root property, which gives two cases:
\[
x-1 = \sqrt{16} \quad \text{or} \quad x-1 = -\sqrt{16}
\]
Since \(\sqrt{16} = 4\), these become:
\[
x-1 = 4 \quad \text{or} \quad x-1 = -4
\]
3. Solve each equation separately:
- For \(x - 1 = 4\):
\[
x = 4 + 1 = 5
\]
- For \(x - 1 = -4\):
\[
x = -4 + 1 = -3
\]
4. The solutions are:
\[
x = 5, -3
\]

To solve the equation \((x-1)^{2}=16\) using the square-root property, first take the square root of both sides. This gives us: \[ x - 1 = \pm 4 \] Now, solve for \(x\) in each case: 1. \( x - 1 = 4 \) leads to \( x = 5 \) 2. \( x - 1 = -4 \) leads to \( x = -3 \) So the solutions are: \( x = 5, -3 \)
