Completing the square is a process to find the solutions, or the x-values, to a quadratic equation. This method can only work if it is in the format: x^2 + bx = c
In this equation, the b value is -12 and the c value is -6. The process for completing the square goes like this:
x^2 + bx + (b/2)^2 = c + (b/2)^2
Now let’s solve the equation above using this method.
Step 1: x^2 - 12x + (-12/2)^2 = -6 + (-12/2)^2
Step 2: x^2 - 12x + (-6)^2 = -6 + (-6)^2
Step 3: x^2 - 12x + 36 = -6 + 36
Step 4: x^2 - 12x + 36 = 30
Now, to factor it. After doing the process until now, the left side of the equation can ALWAYS be in the format: (x + a)^2
Step 5: x^2 - 12x + 36 can be factored in this format as (x - 6)^2
Step 6: (x - 6)^2 = 30
Step 7: x - 6 = √30
Step 8: x = 6 ±√30
Answer:
18.02 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A diagonal makes a rectangle into two right triangles. So if we use the Pythagorean theorem we can find the hypotenuse which is the diagonals.
Remember, because we know the length and width, we know the two sides.
10^2 + 15^2 = c^2
100+225 = c^2
325 = c^2
18.027 ≈ c
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation: l-7&!:
C is 2 because you have to move the 5 so you add 5 to 13 which is 18 then divide both sides by 9 so it's 2
