Q. Solve for u u .\newlineu2=9 u^2 = 9 \newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlineu= u = _____ or u= u = _____
  1. Identify Equation: Identify the equation to solve.\newlineWe have u2=9u^2 = 9.\newlineTo find the value of uu, 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.\newlineu2=9\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{9}\newlineThis gives us two possible solutions for uu because the square root of a number can be both positive and negative.
  3. Find Positive Solution: Find the positive square root of 99.u=9u = \sqrt{9}u=3u = 3This is the positive solution.
  4. Find Negative Solution: Find the negative square root of 99. Since the square of both positive and negative numbers is positive, we also have: u=9u = -\sqrt{9} u=3u = -3 This is the negative solution.
