Solve for c 3/(10^2)+2/(5^2)=c^2

$\frac{3}{10^{2}} + \frac{2}{5^{2}} = c^{2}$

Rewrite the equation as $c^{2} = \frac{3}{10^{2}} + \frac{2}{5^{2}}$ .

$c^{2} = \frac{3}{10^{2}} + \frac{2}{5^{2}}$

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$c = \pm \sqrt{\frac{3}{10^{2}} + \frac{2}{5^{2}}}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$c = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{10}$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$c = - \frac{\sqrt{11}}{10}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$c = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{10}, - \frac{\sqrt{11}}{10}$

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$c = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{10}, - \frac{\sqrt{11}}{10}$

Decimal Form:

$c = 0.33166247 \dots, - 0.33166247 \dots$
