Given the equation:

x^2 = 64

Determine the solution of the equation.

Solution:

In order to determine the solution of the equation, we can simply take the square root of both sides of the equation, whereas we can perform by enclosing both sides with a radical sign, or by raising both sides of the equation by ½.

x^2 = 64

(x^2)^½ = (64)^½

x= 8

Final answer:

x = 8
