Basic Math Examples

$5 = t^{2}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as

$t^{2} = 5$ .

$t^{2} = 5$

Step 2

Take the specified root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$t = \pm \sqrt{5}$

Step 3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

Step 3.1

First, use the positive value of the

$\pm$ to find the first solution.

$t = \sqrt{5}$

Step 3.2

Next, use the negative value of the

$\pm$ to find the second solution.

$t = - \sqrt{5}$

Step 3.3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$t = \sqrt{5}, - \sqrt{5}$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$t = \sqrt{5}, - \sqrt{5}$

Decimal Form:

$t = 2.23606797 \dots, - 2.23606797 \dots$
