1 answer

To solve the quadratic equation \((x−7)^2=11\), we will first solve for \(x\) by taking the square root of both sides.

  1. Start with the equation: \[ (x−7)^2 = 11 \]

  2. Take the square root of both sides: \[ x−7 = \sqrt{11} \quad \text{or} \quad x−7 = -\sqrt{11} \]

  3. Solve for \(x\) in both cases:

    a. For \(x−7 = \sqrt{11}\): \[ x = 7 + \sqrt{11} \]

    b. For \(x−7 = -\sqrt{11}\): \[ x = 7 - \sqrt{11} \]

Now we have the two solutions:

  • The smaller solution is \( x = 7 - \sqrt{11} \)
  • The larger solution is \( x = 7 + \sqrt{11} \)

Let's provide the approximate numerical values:

  • The approximate value of \(\sqrt{11} \approx 3.317\), thus:
    • \( 7 - \sqrt{11} \approx 7 - 3.317 \approx 3.683\)
    • \( 7 + \sqrt{11} \approx 7 + 3.317 \approx 10.317\)

So we identify the two solutions:

  • The smaller of the two solutions is: \[ x = 7 - \sqrt{11} \approx 3.683 \]

  • The larger of the two solutions is: \[ x = 7 + \sqrt{11} \approx 10.317 \]

Finally, filling in the table with the discovered values:

  • The smaller solution is \( x \approx 3.683 \).
  • The larger solution is \( x \approx 10.317 \).

Thus, the final answers are: The smaller of the two solutions is \( x = 7 - \sqrt{11} \). The larger of the two solutions is \( x = 7 + \sqrt{11} \).
