Apply the square root property of equality

Answer:
First blank: 1/4
Second blank: 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex](x+\frac{1}{4})^2=\frac{4}{9}[/tex]
Applying the square root of both sides gives:
[tex](x+\frac{1}{4})=\pm \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}}[/tex]
[tex]x+\frac{1}{4}=\pm \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{9}}[/tex]
[tex]x+\frac{1}{4}=\pm \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
The blanks are 1/4 and 2/3.
When we take the square root on both sides of the equation, then the whole square term becomes its square root, but the constant term on the other side has a ± sign as the square root of n can be -√n as well as √n, because the square of a negative number is also a positive number.
So the given equation is (x+1/4)² = 4/9
Taking square root on both sides we get
(x+1/4) = ±2/3 using the square root property of equality.
Hence the blanks are 1/4 and 2/3 of the given question.
