What are the solutions to x2−121=0

Question

? Enter the lesser number first.(1 point)
x=
, x=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x^2 - 121 = 0 \), we can start by isolating \( x^2 \):

\[ x^2 = 121 \]

Next, we take the square root of both sides:

\[ x = \pm \sqrt{121} \]

Calculating the square root:

\[ \sqrt{121} = 11 \]

So the solutions are:

\[ x = 11 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -11 \]

Since the problem asks for the lesser number first, we write the solutions as:

\[ x = -11, \quad x = 11 \]

Thus, the answers are:

x = -11, x = 11
