To solve for x, we can square both sides of the equation √x = 2/7:
(√x)^2 = (2/7)^2 x = (2/7)^2 x = 4/49
So, x = 4/49.
To solve for x^2 = 16, we can take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√(x^2) = √16 |x| = 4
Since both the positive and negative square roots of 16 are 4, we need to consider both cases:
Case 1: x = 4 Case 2: x = -4
Therefore, the solutions to x^2 = 16 are x = 4 and x = -4.
