x=-11 " (multiplicity 2)"x=11 (multiplicity 2)

Explanation:

"this is a "color(blue)"perfect square"this is a perfect square

•color(white)(x)(a+-b)^2=a^2+-2ab+b^2x(a±b)2=a2±2ab+b2

"with "a=x" and "b=11with a=x and b=11

2ab=2xx x xx11=22x2ab=2×x×11=22x

(x+11)^2=0(x+11)2=0

(x+11)(x+11)=0(x+11)(x+11)=0

rArrx=-11" of multiplicity 2"x=11 of multiplicity 2
