Solve the equation. If necessary round to the nearest hundredth.
9x^2 = 17
To solve the equation 9x^2 = 17, we need to isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 9:
(9x^2)/9 = 17/9
Simplifying, we have:
x^2 = 17/9
To solve for x, we can take the square root of both sides:
√(x^2) = ±√(17/9)
This gives us two possible solutions for x:
x = ±√(17/9)
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we have:
x ≈ ±1.28
