|x^2-4x-5|=4

Solution

x^{2} - 4 x - 5 = 4

Solution

x = 2 - 13 or x = 2 - 5 or x = 2 + 5 or x = 2 + 13

+1

Decimal Notation

x = - 1.60555 \dots, x = - 0.23606 \dots, x = 4.23606 \dots, x = 5.60555 \dots

Solution steps

x^{2} - 4 x - 5 = 4

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

or

u = - a

x^{2} - 4 x - 5 = - 4 or x^{2} - 4 x - 5 = 4

x^{2} - 4 x - 5 = - 4 or x^{2} - 4 x - 5 = 4

(x = 2 - 5 or x = 2 + 5) or (x = 2 - 13 or x = 2 + 13)

x = 2 - 13 or x = 2 - 5 or x = 2 + 5 or x = 2 + 13
