Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 196 = j^2 \), you take the square root of both sides.

\[ j = \sqrt{196} \quad \text{or} \quad j = -\sqrt{196} \]

Calculating the square root:

\[ \sqrt{196} = 14 \]

So, the solutions are:

\[ j = 14 \quad \text{or} \quad j = -14 \]

Thus, the possible values for \( j \) are 14 and -14.

From your responses, the correct answers are:

• 14
• -14
