solve ( x^2 = 36 ) by inspection. there are two real solutions. enter the lesser number first. (1 point)
input box 1, input box 2
check answer remaining attempts : 3

Explanation:

Step1: Recall square root property

To solve \(x^{2}=36\) by inspection, we use the property that if \(x^{2}=a\) (\(a\geq0\)), then \(x = \pm\sqrt{a}\).

Step2: Calculate square roots

For \(a = 36\), \(\sqrt{36}=6\) and \(-\sqrt{36}=- 6\). Since \(-6<6\), the lesser solution is \(-6\) and the greater is \(6\).

Answer:

-6, 6
