Solution

Let's match each equation with its solution based on the image you've uploaded. We will go step by step through each equation.

1. x2=25x^2 = 25

This is a straightforward quadratic equation. Taking the square root of both sides: x=±25=±5x = \pm \sqrt{25} = \pm 5 Solution: ±5\pm 5

2. x2=25x^2 = -25

Taking the square root of both sides: x=±25=±5ix = \pm \sqrt{-25} = \pm 5i This involves imaginary numbers, and the solutions are ±5i\pm 5i.

Solution: ±5i\pm 5i

3. x2+5=0x^2 + 5 = 0

First, solve for x2x^2 by subtracting 5 from both sides: x2=5x^2 = -5 Now take the square root of both sides: x=±5=±i5x = \pm \sqrt{-5} = \pm i\sqrt{5} The solutions are ±i5\pm i\sqrt{5}.

Solution: ±i5\pm i\sqrt{5}

4. x25=0x^2 - 5 = 0

First, solve for x2x^2 by adding 5 to both sides: x2=5x^2 = 5 Now take the square root of both sides: x=±5x = \pm \sqrt{5} The solutions are ±5\pm \sqrt{5}.

Solution: ±5\pm \sqrt{5}

5. x2=45x^2 = -45

Taking the square root of both sides: x=±45=±3i5x = \pm \sqrt{-45} = \pm 3i\sqrt{5} This involves imaginary numbers. The solutions are ±3i5\pm 3i\sqrt{5}.

Solution: ±3i5\pm 3i\sqrt{5}

6. x2=45x^2 = 45

Taking the square root of both sides: x=±45=±35x = \pm \sqrt{45} = \pm 3\sqrt{5} The solutions are ±35\pm 3\sqrt{5}.

Solution: ±35\pm 3\sqrt{5}

7. x5=0x - 5 = 0

Solving for xx directly: x=5x = 5 The solution is 55.

Solution: 55

8. x+5=0x + 5 = 0

Solving for xx directly: x=5x = -5 The solution is 5-5.

Solution: 5-5


Final Matching:

  1. x2=25x^2 = 25±5\pm 5
  2. x2=25x^2 = -25±5i\pm 5i
  3. x2+5=0x^2 + 5 = 0±i5\pm i\sqrt{5}
  4. x25=0x^2 - 5 = 0±5\pm \sqrt{5}
  5. x2=45x^2 = -45±3i5\pm 3i\sqrt{5}
  6. x2=45x^2 = 45±35\pm 3\sqrt{5}
  7. x5=0x - 5 = 055
  8. x+5=0x + 5 = 05-5
