Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for x
−5<x<5
Alternative Form
x∈(−5,5)
Evaluate
25−x2>0
Rewrite the expression
25−x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x2=0−25
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x2=−25
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x2=25
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±25
