When 71 is added to the square of a number, the result is 512. What is the positive number?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 21

Let the number be \(x\). Then \(x^2+71=512\), so \(x^2=512-71=441=21^2\). Hence \(x=\pm21\), and the positive number is \(21\). Option 20 is incorrect because \(20^2+71=471\), not 512. Exam tip: Taking a square root gives both positive and negative roots, but choose the positive root when the question asks for a positive number.
