    or square both sides of eq.
    |x-2|² = 5²
    then use difference of squares
    (x-2)² - 5² = 0
    (x-2+5)(x-2-5) = 0

    All the point that are a distance of 5 to the center, with complex numbers, so de answer will be x=5cos(θ)+2+5sen(θ)i
    If θ=0, x=7, if θ=π, x=-3
    if θ=π/2, x=2+5i

    Just here because the thumbnail caught my eye and I feel the need to comment. In the thumbnail, the absolute value sign was crossed out and the plus/minus added in front of the 5 with the question "why?" |x-2|=5 x-2=+/-5 (in which case x=7 or -3 but I digress) by the very nature of absolute value. Absolute value of a number is always a positive integer or 0 which is equidistant from 0 of the number you're taking the absolute value, at least with real numbers. I'm not sure how complex numbers work with absolute value. Edit: looked it up and it's the distance between the origin and the point representing the number on the complex plane. A complex plane is basically a standard cartesian plane except the x-axis represents all real numbers and the y-axis represents all coefficients of i. In other words, the absolute value of x+yi is sqrt(x^2+y^2).

    Challenge: Math exam 2011 in Latvia for 18y/o school: log_a ^2 (x-a)>1, solve for all possible "a" values. (square log base a).

    3:35 why isn't SQRT ( X^2) = +-X ? Output of SQRT can be pos or neg.
    I guess it's just the definition of the principal square root.

      That’s correct. In some sense sqrt (and all roots for that matter) really should be a multi valued function, but that’s harder to work with.

      Brother when we have an equation for eg: x²=25, then we are required to find all the roots, i.e. +/-5. But when we have a function involving just the radical sign for eg: √25, then the answer will just be +5.

    There’s also another way: |X-2|=5 -> -(X-2)=5, (X-2)=5 -> 2-X=5 subtract 2 and then divide by -1 which gives X=-3 and the second equation add 2 to both sides which gives X=7

    Good Morning!
    In your presentation you have didactic and methodicals errors, which I think you should correct
    The three ways you present how to solve an equation have errors which many people make.
    I wish a good day.

      Sorry! Because I write now:
      What is for you a equation ?
      What is the soluction of a equation?
      What you think when you use a quadratic root in the two sides of equation? What quadratic root ?
      Do you know that in The elementary algebra the lettres are munbers?
      You remenber The properties of the absolute value?
      Excuse me for the Simple questions, because this is a problem for many People dealing with solving equations.
      Good Day!

    I'm accustomed to removing the |x-2| such that +/-(x-2)=5. I guess it's a matter of how I learned back in the day 🤔
