Bunuel,

When to use

1.\sqrt{x} = Mod(X) or

2. \sqrt{X} = X

Here u have used \sqrt{x} = Mod(X) while in the problem below:

If \sqrt{3-2x}= \sqrt{2x} +1 then 4x2 =

(A) 1
(B) 4
(C) 2 − 2x
(D) 4x − 2
(E) 6x − 1

you have used \sqrt{X} = X

Why so?


\sqrt{x^2}=|x|.

If x\leq{0}. then \sqrt{x^2}=|x|=-x. For example if x=-5, then \sqrt{(-5)^2}=\sqrt{25}=5=|x|=-x.

If x\geq{0}, then \sqrt{x^2}=|x|=x. For example if x=5, then \sqrt{5^2}=\sqrt{25}=5=|x|=x.

I guess you are talking about the following problem: if-root-3-2x-root-2x-1-then-4x-135539.html Where did I write that \sqrt{x^2}=x?
