Solve x^2 = 25/64. Enter the lesser number first, leave the answers in simplest fraction form.

1 answer

To solve the equation \( x^2 = \frac{25}{64} \), we need to take the square root of both sides.

Taking the square root, we get:

\[ x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{25}{64}} \]

We can simplify this as follows:

\[ x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{64}} = \pm \frac{5}{8} \]

Thus, the two solutions are:

\[ x = \frac{5}{8} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{5}{8} \]

Now, arranging the answers in order and leaving the answers in simplest fraction form, we have:

\[ -\frac{5}{8}, \frac{5}{8} \]

So the final answer is:

\[ -\frac{5}{8}, \frac{5}{8} \]
