Answer:
In step 2 Cyrus make an error.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Expression [tex]\frac{1}{3}(x-1)^2=12[/tex]
To find : In which step did Cyrus make an error?
Solution :
Expression [tex]\frac{1}{3}(x-1)^2=12[/tex]
Step 1 - [tex](x-1)^2=36[/tex]
Step 2 - [tex]x-1=6[/tex]
Step 3 - [tex]x=7[/tex]
There is a mistake in step 2,
As we are taking root both side so RHS value is +6 and -6.
So that there are two solutions of the equation.
Correct steps are,
Step 2 - [tex]x-1=6,-6[/tex]
Step 3 - [tex]x=7,-5[/tex]
Therefore, In step 2 Cyrus make an error.
