QuestionSolve g(x)=9g(x)=9 by substituting into 9=2x259=2 x^{2}-5, then find x2=7x^{2}=7 for 2 solutions.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The function g(x)g(x) is given by g(x)=x5g(x)=x^{}-5 . We are asked to solve for xx when g(x)=9g(x) =9

STEP 2

First, we substitute g(x)g(x) with9 in the equation.
9=2x259 =2x^{2} -5

STEP 3

Next, we rearrange the equation to isolate x2x^{2}.
2x2=9+52x^{2} =9 +5

STEP 4

implify the right side of the equation.
2x2=142x^{2} =14

STEP 5

Now, divide both sides of the equation by2 to solve for x2x^{2}.
x2=142x^{2} = \frac{14}{2}

STEP 6

implify the right side of the equation.
x2=x^{2} =

STEP 7

Finally, we take the square root of both sides to solve for xx. Remember, when we take the square root of a number, we get two solutions one positive and one negative.
x=±7x = \pm \sqrt{7}The solutions are x=7x = \sqrt{7} and x=7x = -\sqrt{7}.
