z^{2} = 49

$z^{2} = 49$

Step 1

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

$z = \pm \sqrt{49}$

Step 2

Step 2.1

Rewrite

$49$ as

$7^{2}$ .

$z = \pm \sqrt{7^{2}}$

Step 2.2

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$z = \pm 7$

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.

$z = 7$

Step 3.2

Next, use the negative value of the

$\pm$ to find the second solution.

$z = - 7$

Step 3.3

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

$z = 7, - 7$
