How do you solve # (x-1)^2 > 4 #?

1 Answer

Jun 15, 2018

#x>3# and #x< -1#

Explanation:

Let's start by taking the square root of both sides. We get

#x-1>2# and #x-1<-2#

NOTE: The inequality flips for the negative square root

Adding #1# to both sides of both equations, we get two solutions:

#x>3# and #x< -1#

Hope this helps!
