4. \( 9x^2 = 406 \)
\[
x^2 = \frac{406}{9} \approx 45.11 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \pm \sqrt{45.11} \approx \pm 6.72
\]
Answer: \( x = 6.72, -6.72 \)
5. \( 7x^2 + 36 = 245 \)
\[
7x^2 = 209 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 = \frac{209}{7} \approx 29.86 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \pm \sqrt{29.86} \approx \pm 5.46
\]
Answer: \( x = 5.46, -5.46 \)
6. \( 9x^2 - 41 = 92 \)
\[
9x^2 = 133 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 = \frac{133}{9} \approx 14.78 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \pm \sqrt{14.78} \approx \pm 3.84
\]
Answer: \( x = 3.84, -3.84 \)
7. \( 18 - x^2 = 4 \)
\[
-x^2 = -14 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 = 14 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \pm \sqrt{14} \approx \pm 3.74
\]
Answer: \( x = 3.74, -3.74 \)
8. \( 144 - 2x^2 = 50 \)
\[
-2x^2 = -94 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 = 47 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \pm \sqrt{47} \approx \pm 6.86
