  • Problem number 28....

    In the first one, what if x =1, then it would prove it to be 1/2 or .5, which is not an integer????

  • prob 28, was wondering if x was odd ?

  • dese r answers for which questions?

  • That would be taking the square root of both sides, but in order to do that you will have 2 roots: the positive and the negative. So you'll have to account for each case:

    x+1 = x or x+1 = -x

    The first case ends up being discarded and the 2nd case is 2x+1 = 0. As Sal explained, it's easy to forget this and get the question wrong, you're better off expanding the squared term and solving that way.

  • Sal: Thanks for these great videos.

    For problem 29

    (x+1)2=X2

    Cant we not remove the "2"square from both side?

    X+1=X

    1=X-X

    1=0

    That doesnt give us value of X. How would we know in exam what to choose?

    Thanks
