For 1-3 solve the equation using the square root property
(m+1)2 = -1
Solution:
(m+1)^2=-1
Taking square root on both sides:
√((m+1)^2 )=√(-1)
Or,(m+1)=±√(-1)
Or,m=-1±√(-1)
(p-1)2 = 12
Solution:
(p-1)^2=12
Taking square root on both sides:
√((p-1)^2 )=√12
Or,(p-1)=±2√3
Or,p=1±2√3
(t+5)2 = -18
Solution:
(t+5)^2=-18
Taking square root on both sides:
√((t+5)^2 )=√(-18)
Or,(t+5)=±√(-18)
Or,t=-5±√(-18)
For 4 & 5, find the value of n such that the expression is a perfect square trinomial, then factor it.
