Q. 1,000=20z2How many distinct real solutions does the given equation have?Choose 1 answer:(A) 0(B) 1(C) 2(D) 4
Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation to find the solutions for z.We start by dividing both sides of the equation by 20 to isolate z2.1,000=20z2z2=201,000z2=50
Solve for z: Solve for z.To find the values of z, we take the square root of both sides of the equation.z2=±50z = ±50
Simplify the square root: Simplify the square root.50 can be simplified to 25×2 which is 52.So, z=±52
Determine the number of solutions: Determine the number of distinct real solutions.Since we have a positive and a negative solution for z, there are 2 distinct real solutions.
