To solve the equation \(4x^2 = 100\):
-
First, divide both sides by 4 to isolate \(x^2\): \[ x^2 = 25 \] (The operation used here was division.)
-
Next, take the square root of both sides to solve for \(x\): \[ x = 5 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -5 \] (The operation used here was taking the square root.)
So, when filling in the response areas:
- For the first response area (inverse operation for dividing 4), you would write division.
- For the second response area (value of \(x\)), you would write 5 and -5.
Final response:
- division
- 5 and -5
