Given the statement:
If x² = 4, then x can only be equal to 2.
Let's determine if the statement is true or false.
Let's solve the given equation to confirm.
[tex]x^2=4[/tex]
Take the square root of both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt{x^2}=\pm\sqrt{4} \\ \\ x=\pm2 \\ \\ x=-2\text{ and 2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, if x² = 4, then x can be -2 or 2.
Hence, the given statement is FALSE.
ANSWER:
False
