Keep in mind the square root of x squared equals the absolute value of x.

So, solving this equation for x involves the following:

sqrt(x2)+4=4x

|x|+4=4x

Solving for |x| yields:

|x|=4x-4

Using x=4x-4:

-3x=-4, x=4/3.

Using x=-(4x-4):

x+4x=4

x=4/5

Checking both with the original equation shows that |4/3|+4=16/3=4*4/3, so x=4/3.

However, |4/5|+4=24/5, which does not equal 4*4/5, so x does not equal 4/5.

This means there is only one solution, x=4/3.

When a squared plus b squared equals c squared what is the square root of the square root of the square root of a squared squared squared plus b squared squared squared?

Since a squared plus b squared equals c squared, that is the same as c equals the square root of a squared plus b squared. This can be taken into squaring and square roots to infinity and still equal c, as long as there is the same number of squaring and square roots in the problem. Since this question asks for a and b squared three times, and also three square roots of a and b both, they equal c. Basically, they cancel each other out.


Assuming A squared plus b squared equals c squared and a equals 10 and b equals 30 what is c?

What is the diagonal when the length is 1712mm and the width is 585mm?

a squared plus b squared equals c squared (1712X1712) + (585X585)= what the square root of "what" is the answer you are looking for


What is A squared plus 6 squared equals 12 squared?

a2 + 62 = 122 a2 + 62 - 62 = 122 - 62 a2 = 144 - 36 a2 = 108 taking the square root of each side, we get a equal plus or minus the square root of 108, or plus or minus 6 times the square root of 3.


What is the diagonal of a 30-inch square box?

'A' squared plus 'B' squared equals 'C' squared. If 'A' and 'B' are the legs of the right angle comprising the sides of the box, 30 inches squared (900) plus 30 inches squared (900) equals 1800. The square root of 1800 is 42.426408711929.


Solve for a c equals the square root of a squared plus b square?

This question cannot be answered. You will have to give me the number to the square root. * * * * * a = ±sqrt(c^2 - b^2)


Assuming A squared plus b squared equals c squared and a equals 9 and b equals 5 what is c?

a2+b2 = c2 92+52 = c2 81+25 = c2 106 = c2 Square root both sides to find the value of c: c = the square root of 106 => 10.29563014
