Solve the following equation using the square root method. Round your answers to two decimal places. (x−16)2=15. Please I need help.
(x-16)^2=15 = {x=16-sqrt(15), x=sqrt(15)+16}, or either: 12.13 or 19.87
Solve for x: (x-16)^2 = 15
Take the square root of both sides: x-16 = sqrt(15) or x-16 = -sqrt(15)
Add 16 to both sides: x = 16+sqrt(15) or x-16 = -sqrt(15)
Add 16 to both sides: Answer: | x = 16+sqrt(15) or x = 16-sqrt(15)
