What are the possible values for x in the equation 4x^2 = 64


(1) x=0        (2) x=4       (3) x=4,-4      (4) x=0,4,-4



Answer :

4x^2 = 64

1)
4(0^2) = 64
4(0) = 64
0 = 64
Not True

2)
4(4^2) = 64
4(16) = 64
64 = 64
True

3)
4(4^2) = 64
4(16) = 64
64 = 64
4(-4^2) = 64
4(16) = 64
64 = 64
True

4)
4(4^2) = 64
4(16) = 64
64 = 64
4(-4^2) = 64
4(16) = 64
64 = 64
4(0^2) = 64
4(0) = 64
0 = 64
Not True
