what is the first step in solving the quadratic equation x^2=9/16

Atake the square root of both sides of the equation
Badd 9/16 to both sides of the equation
Csquare both sides of the equation
Dsubtract 9/16 from both sides of the equation

Verified Answer :

the answer is C, I believe.

Answer:

"Take the square root of both sides of the equation"

A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given quadratic equation \(x^2=\dfrac{9}{16}\)

We need to solve for x. We have to isolate x here.

Here square on x. So, first we get rid of square.

Taking square root both sides to get rid of square.

For example:

\(a^2=25\)

\(\sqrt{a^2}=\pm\sqrt{25}\)

\(x^2=\dfrac{9}{16}\)  to solve for x

Taking square root both sides

\(\sqrt{x^2}=\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{9}{25}}\)

\(x=\pm\dfrac{3}{5}\)

Hence, "Take the square root of both sides of the equation"
