we are given
[tex] x^2= \frac{25}{289} [/tex]
Firstly, we will find all possible factors of 25 and 289
25=5*5
289=17*17
so, we get
[tex] x^2= \frac{5*5}{17*17} [/tex]
[tex] x^2= \frac{5^2}{17^2} [/tex]
Since, we have to solve for x
so, we can take sqrt both sides
[tex] \sqrt{x^2}= -\sqrt{\frac{5^2}{17^2} } [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{x^2}= \sqrt{\frac{5^2}{17^2} } [/tex]
now, we can simplify both
[tex] x=-\frac{5}{17} [/tex]
[tex] x=\frac{5}{17} [/tex]
so, solutions are
[tex] x=-\frac{5}{17} [/tex]
[tex] x=\frac{5}{17} [/tex]................Answer
