Verified Answer :

4x + 8 x 2 = 36
4x + 16 = 36
4x = 20 
x = 5

Answer:

\(x=-5\text{ or }x=1\).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a quadratic equation \(4(x+2)^2=36\). We are asked to find the solutions for our given equation.

First of all, we will divide both sides of our given equation by 4 as shown below:

\(\frac{4(x+2)^2}{4}=\frac{36}{4}\)

\((x+2)^2=9\)

Now, we will take square root of both sides of our equation.

\(\sqrt{(x+2)^2}=\pm \sqrt{9}\)

\(\sqrt{(x+2)^2}=\pm \sqrt{3^2}\)

Using radical rule \(\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a\), we will get:

\(x+2=\pm 3\)

Upon subtracting 2 from both sides of our given equation, we will get:

\(x+2-2=-2\pm 3\)

\(x=-2\pm 3\)

Now, we will write two equivalent equations to our equation as:

\(x=-2-3\text{ or }x=-2+3\)

\(x=-5\text{ or }x=1\)

Therefore, the solutions for our given quadratic equation are \(x=-5\text{ or }x=1\).
