Find the roots of the quadratic equation x^2-8x=9 by completing the square. Show your work.

1 answer:

3 0

$x^{2} -8x=9 \\ x^{2} -8x+(-4)^{2} = 9 + (-4)^{2} \\ x^{2} -8x+16 = 9 + 16 \\ (x-4)^{2} =25 \\ x-4= \sqrt{25} \\ x-4= \pm 5 \\ x= \pm 5+4$
x = 5 + 4 or -5 + 4
x = 9 or -1

Answer:

x = 24.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

24² + 5² = x²

576 + 25 = x²

601 = x²

√601 = x

Write an equation in slope intercept form for a line perpendicular to the line

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

y=(1/3)x- 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, then the slopes will be the negative inverse to each other.

Example:

the negative inverse of 2 is -1/2

the slope of $y=-3x+2$ is -3

the negative inverse of -3 is $\dfrac{1}{3}$

So we have the perpendicular line be : $y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b$

Since it also go through (4,0)

plug in we get $0 = \dfrac{4}{3}+b$

$b=-\frac{4}{3}$

So the equation would be

$y=\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{4}{3}$
