a^2-40=0
Factor:
(a-sqrt(40))(a+sqrt(40)) = 0
---
a = sqrt(40) or a = -sqrt(40)
---
a = 2sqrt(10) or a = -2sqrt(10)

Answer by tara0066(31) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a^2-40=0 First thing you do is add the 40 to both sides
a^2-40(+40)=0+40 This cancels your -40
a^2=40 Next, you will take the square root of both sides. (Square root is the opposite of something that is squared.)This simply removes the ^2 off of your a.
a=Square root of 40
Square root of 40 breaks down to square root of 4 and square root of 10.
The square root of 4 is plus or minus 2.
a=+-2sqrt(10)
When you write it, the plus or minus should go on top of each other with the + on top with the - under it.
