Q. Solve for pp.\newlinep2=121p^2 = 121\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinep=p = _____ or p=p = _____
  1. Identify equation: Identify the equation to solve.\newlineWe have p2=121p^2 = 121.\newlineTo find the value of pp, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation.
  2. Take square root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation.\newlinep2=121\sqrt{p^2} = \sqrt{121}\newlinep=11×11p = \sqrt{11 \times 11} \newlineSince the square root of a positive number has two values, one positive and one negative, pp can be either +11+11 or 11-11.
  3. Write final solution: Write the final solution.\newlineSo, p=11p = 11 or p=11p = -11.
