Solve the quadratic equations by completing the square. x^2-4x=-1

Mathematics
1 answer:
kkurt [141]2 years ago

Answer:

2 ± √3

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Solving quadratic equation by completing squares:  </h3>

           x² - 4x = -1

  • Divide the coefficient of x by 2.

                 4 ÷ 2 = 2

  •  Now, square the result and add that to both sides of the equation.

          2² = 2* 2 = 4

          x² - 4x + 4 = -1 + 4

          x² - 4x + 4 = 3

         x² - 2 * x * 2 + 2² = 3

  •     Compare it with a² - 2ab + b² . Now , a = x and b = 2

            (x - 2)² = 3

  •     Take square root both sides

             x - 2 = ±√3

                    x = 2 ± √3

<h3>Solutions: x = 2 +√3   ;  2 - √3</h3>

Can someone help me with problem please? It’s special right triangle: decimal answers (Round to the nearest tenth)
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

h= 4.6, c=7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to know in a 30 60 90 triangle the sides ratios are x, 2x and x√3, and for 45 90 45 it is x, x and x√2

so <em>h</em> is 8/√3 and you rationalize the bottom so it becomes 8√3/3. when you solve this and round to nearest hundred it becomes 4.6. for the second one, it is 5√2 and when you solve this and round, it becomes 7.1

Jake drew an isosceles right triangle. What are the measures of the two acute angles? How do you know?
scoray [572]
SO you know that triangles add up to 180. A right angle equals 90 so 180-90=90. And an isosceles triangle means that 2 angles are congruent. SO 90/2 = 45. The measure of the 2 acute angles are 45

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.
inn [45]
P ( A ) = 0.45  - probability that the land has oil,
P ( B ) = 0.8   - probability that the test predicts it
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) · P ( B ) = 0.45 · 0.8  = 0.36
Answer: The probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it is 36 %.

What is -1.1 repeating as a fraction
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Hey \\ There!

\frac{-1.1}{1} ( \frac{10}{10} )\\ \\ -1.1(10) = -11   \\ \\ 1(10)= 10 \\ \\ \\  Fraction:  \frac{-11}{10} this is also equal to: -1\frac{1}{10}

Your answer would probably be: \frac{-11}{10} =  -1\frac{1}{10}

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

A tv has a listed price of $896.99 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 7.75%, find the total cost of the tv with sales tax incl
nadezda [96]

Answer:69.52

Step-by-step explanation:First set up a proportion which is basically a fraction.To set it up first you must put two fractions together with an equals sign in between both fractions.Then add the whole on the denominator to the left then an x for the one above the whole cause were looking for a part.Then add the percent to the top right which in this case is 7.75 then 100 as the denominator cause it represents a whole.Then when looking for a part multiply Denominator on left which in this case is 896.99 then multiply it by the percent 7.75 which should give you 6951.6725 then divide by 100 which is 69.516725 then round which is 69.52.
