Question
### Solving a Quadratic Equation Using the Square Root Property

**Question:**

Solve \(0.8u^2 = 90\), where \(u\) is a real number. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

If there is more than one solution, separate them with commas. If there is no solution, click on "No solution".

**Solution:**

To solve the equation \(0.8u^2 = 90\) using the square root property, follow these steps:

1. **Isolate the quadratic term:**
   
   Divide both sides of the equation by 0.8:
   \[
   u^2 = \frac{90}{0.8} = 112.5
   \]

2. **Apply the square root property:**
   
   Take the square root of both sides of the equation:
   \[
   u = \pm\sqrt{112.5}
   \]

3. **Calculate the square root:**
   
   Find the positive and negative square roots of 112.5:
   \[
   u = \pm 10.61 \quad \text{(rounded to the nearest hundredth)}
   \]

Thus, the two solutions are \(u = 10.61\) and \(u = -10.61\).

**Inputting the Solution:**

- Enter the solutions \(10.61, -10.61\) separated by a comma in the provided input box.
- If prompted, click the check button to verify your solutions.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- A rectangular input box is presented where you are to type in the solutions to the quadratic equation.
- Adjacent to the input box, there are three buttons:
  1. A “No solution” button indicating you should click if the equation has no real solutions.
  2. A reset button (circular arrow) that allows you to clear your input.
  3. A help button (question mark) for additional assistance.

Ensure your final values are entered with precision and correct rounding to match the instructions given.
