Question 226867: Hi i need help solving these equations: the square root of (2r squared - 121)= r
and : 4+ square root of (m-2)=m

= r
Square both sides and you have
2r^2 - 121 = r^2
2r^2 - r^2 = + 121
r^2 = 121
r =
r = +11 is the valid solution
;
;
= m
= m - 4
Square both sides
m - 2 = (m-4)^2
m - 2 = m^2 - 8m + 16
0 = m^2 - 8m - m + 16 + 2
A quadratic equation
m^2 - 9m + 18
Factors to
(m-6)(m-3) = 0
m = 6
and
m = 3
:
You check both solutions in original equation, only one is valid
