:( what is the first step in solving quadratic equations by finding square roots? a. give the positive and negative answer c. square root both sides to isolate x^2 b. isolate the by using inverse operations d. none of these

Option a) give the positive and negative answer

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a quadratic equation.

Given that it is solved by finding square roots

Hence the quadratic equation left side is a perfect square

The first step would be

a) give the positive and negative answer

Since a square has root as both positive and negative this would be the right answer.

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42

the line of
