Question 597446: HI COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE ANSWER.
SQUARE ROOT OF (Z+5)= 2Z Found 3 solutions by stanbon, edjones, unlockmath:Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! SQUARE ROOT OF (Z+5)= 2Z
----
Square both sides to get:
(z+5) = 4Z^2
---
Rearrange:
4z^2 - z + 5 = 0
---
z = [1 +- sqrt(1-4*4*5)]/8
----
z = [1 +- sqrt(-79)]/8
----
z = [1 +- isqrt(79)]/8

You can put this solution on YOUR website! sqrt(z+5)= 2z
z+5=4z^2 square each side.
4z^2-z-5=0
4*-5=-20. the factors of -20 whose sum is -1 are -5 and 4
4z^2+4z-5z-5=0
4z(z+1)-5(z+1)=0
(4z-5)(z+1)=0
4z=5
z=5/4 This is the only answer.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
This SQUARE ROOT OF (Z+5)= 2Z is solved by squaring both sides to get:
Z+5= (2Z)^2
Subtract Z and 5:
0=4z^2-z-5
Factor:
0=(4z-5)(z+1)
Solve for z
4z-5=0
z=5/4
and
z=-1
Now plug these answers into the original and see if they work. You'll find one of these answers don't work. I'll let you find out which one it is.
