solve x^2 = 25/64. there are two real solutions. enter the lesser number first. leave the answers in simplest fraction form

1 answer

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

  1. Start with the equation: \[ x^2 = \frac{25}{64} \]

  2. Take the square root of both sides, remembering to consider both the positive and negative roots: \[ x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{25}{64}} \]

  3. Simplify the square root: \[ x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{64}} = \pm \frac{5}{8} \]

This gives us two solutions:

  • \( x = \frac{5}{8} \)
  • \( x = -\frac{5}{8} \)
  1. Finally, list the solutions in order, starting with the lesser number: \[ -\frac{5}{8}, \frac{5}{8} \]

Thus, the two real solutions are \( \boxed{-\frac{5}{8}, \frac{5}{8}} \).
