Answer:
x = ±2[tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
40 - x^2 = 0
Subtract 40 from both sides
-x^2 = -40
Divide both sides by -1
x^2 = 40
Find the square root of both sides
x = ±[tex]\sqrt{40}[/tex]
x = ±[tex]\sqrt{2 * 2 * 2 * 5}[/tex]
x = ±[tex]\sqrt{2^2 * 2 * 5}[/tex]
x = ±2[tex]\sqrt{2 * 5}[/tex]
x = ±2[tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
