Case Study

Apprentice Training: Verifying the Solution Path

Based on the case study, write a review of the technician's solution process. In your review, you must explicitly recall and confirm each of the major algebraic milestones in solving 2(x2)2+3=57{}2(x - 2)^2 + 3 = 57 using the Square Root Property:

  1. Confirm the subtraction of 3 from both sides and state the resulting equation.
  2. Confirm the division of both sides by 2 and state the resulting isolated binomial equation.
  3. Recall and explain how the Square Root Property is applied to this isolated equation, specifying the equation obtained with the ±\pm symbol.
  4. Recall how the radical 27\sqrt{27} is simplified to the form AB{}A\sqrt{B}.
  5. Recall the final step of adding 2 to both sides and state both resulting exact solutions.
