Solve x^24=7

$${ x }^{ 2 } 4=7$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{\sqrt{7}}{2} \approx 1.322875656$$

$$x = -\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2} \approx -1.322875656$$

Steps by Finding Square Root

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x^{2}=\frac{7}{4}$$

Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

$$x=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}$$

Steps Using the Quadratic Formula

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x^{2}=\frac{7}{4}$$

Subtract \frac{7}{4} from both sides.

$$x^{2}-\frac{7}{4}=0$$

This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{7}{4} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.

$$x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{7}{4}\right)}}{2}$$

Square 0.

$$x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{7}{4}\right)}}{2}$$

Multiply -4 times -\frac{7}{4}.

$$x=\frac{0±\sqrt{7}}{2}$$

Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\sqrt{7}}{2} when ± is plus.

$$x=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}$$

Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\sqrt{7}}{2} when ± is minus.

$$x=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}$$

The equation is now solved.

$$x=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}$$
