Question

What are the solutions to the equation open parentheses x squared plus 5 x plus 5 close parentheses to the power of 5 over 2 end exponent equals 1

hintHint:

Rearrange the equation and then solve for x.

The correct answer is: ⇒ x = -4, -1


    Complete step by step solution:
    Here we have the equation open parentheses x squared plus 5 x plus 5 close parentheses to the power of 5 over 2 end exponent equals 1
    To make the power of the equation as 1, we have to raise the equation by 2 over 5

    On rearranging, we get x squared plus 5 x plus 4 equals 0
    Now, this is a quadratic equation with a = 1, b = 5, c = 4
    Roots can be found with, x equals fraction numerator negative b plus-or-minus square root of b squared minus 4 a c end root over denominator 2 a end fraction
    x equals fraction numerator negative 5 plus-or-minus square root of 25 minus 4 cross times 1 cross times 4 end root over denominator 2 cross times 1 end fraction
    x equals fraction numerator negative 5 plus-or-minus square root of 9 over denominator 2 end fraction
