Answer 1

To solve the quadratic equation \((x + 6)^2 = 8\) using square roots, we follow these steps:

1. Take the square root of both sides: \[ x + 6 = \pm \sqrt{8} \]

2. Simplify \(\sqrt{8}\): \[ \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = 2\sqrt{2} \] Thus, we rewrite the equation as: \[ x + 6 = \pm 2\sqrt{2} \]

3. Solve for \(x\) by isolating it:

   • For the positive root: \[ x = -6 + 2\sqrt{2} \]
   • For the negative root: \[ x = -6 - 2\sqrt{2} \]

4. Calculate the numerical values:

   • The approximate value of \(2\sqrt{2}\) is: \[ 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2 \times 1.414 \approx 2.828 \]
   • Therefore, we can find:
     • First root: \[ x \approx -6 + 2.828 \approx -3.172 \]
     • Second root: \[ x \approx -6 - 2.828 \approx -8.828 \]

Since these approximations do not exactly match with the given options, let's reevaluate using exact values.

Using the values of \(-6 \pm 2\sqrt{2}\):

• If we convert \(2\sqrt{2}\) back into decimal values, we find:

  1. \(x_1 = -6 + 2\sqrt{2} \approx -3.172\) (This approximates correctly).
  2. \(x_2 = -6 - 2\sqrt{2} \approx -8.828\) (This approximates correctly).

Now, let's compare with the multiple choice options given in your question:

• Possible choices include:
  • {−2,−10}
  • {−1.17,−6.83}
  • {−0.34,−11.66}
  • {10,−22}

None of these provided multiple-choice answers match our calculations based on the \((x + 6)^2 = 8\) equation solution.

It looks like there may have been a mistake somewhere in either the calculations or in the provided options. Double-check the specific results necessary based on the options given or verify the choice.
