You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve: 5(x-2)^2 = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 5:
\n" ); document.write( "(x-2)^2 = 3/5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the square root of both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "x - 2 = +/-Sqrt(3/5)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 +/-Sqrt(3/5)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This does not exactly agree with any of your answers unless you do this:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 +/-Sqrt(15/25); change the fraction from 3/5 to 15/25
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 +/-(1/5)Sqrt(15); extract the sqrt of 1/25
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10/5 +/-(1/5)Sqrt(15); multiply 2 by 10 so you can put 5 under it
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Then you can write it:
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"%2810+%2B-Sqrt%2815%29%29%2F5\" which is the same value as 2+/-Sqrt(3/5)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Not sure why they do this, it confuses things and makes more chance for error
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
