Q. Solve for y. Express your answer in simplest radical form if necessary.32=y2Answer: y=
Find y Value: Now, we need to find the value of y. To do this, take the square root of both sides of the equation.32=y2
Simplify Square Roots: Simplify the square root of 32 and the square root of y2.32=y32=(16×2)=16×2=42y=42
Consider Both Solutions: But wait, we forgot that when we take the square root of both sides, there should be two solutions: one positive and one negative.y=±42
