Answer:
x = 2.5 or -0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to use completing the square method to solve for the values of x
Firstly, we divide through by 4
= x^2 -7/4x -2 = 0
Now, we move the two term to the right hand side
x^2 -7/4x = 2
Now, we divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it;
That would be;
(-7/4 * 1/2)^2 = 49/64
we now add this value to both sides of the equation
x^2 -7/4x + 49/64 = 2 + 49/64
The right hand side can be rewritten as;
(x-7/8)^2 = 177/64
taking the square root of both sides
x-7/8 = √(177/64)
x = 7/8 ± √(177/64)
x = 7/8 + √(177/74) or 7/8 - √(177/64)
= x = 2.53802 or -0.788017
Which to the nearest tenth is
x = 2.5 or -0.8
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Anything with an exponent of 1 is itself.
Answer:
B) (2x + 3)(2x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the FOIL method for each answer choice.
FOIL = First, Outside, Inside, Last
(2x)(2x) = 4x²
(2x)(-3) = -6x
(3)(2x) = 6x
(3)(-3) = -9
4x² -6x +6x -9
Simplify. Combine like terms:
4x² (-6x + 6x) - 9
4x² - 9
4x² - 9 = 4x² - 9 ∴ B) (2x + 3)(2x - 3) is your answer
