Completing the Square: results in 2 solutions x^2 + 3x = -2

1 answer:

4 0

Add 2 to both sdies
now if we can facor, then if
xy=0 then x and/or y=0
note:xy=x times y and x(y) =x times y

x^2+3x+2=0
what 2 number multiply to get 2 and add to get 3
the numbers are 2 and 1
(x+2)(x+1)=0
set them to zero
x+2=0
subtract 2
x=-2

x+1=0
subtract 1
x=-1

x could be -1 or -2
x=-2, or -1

A quadratic equation is shown below: 2x2 − 10x − 8 = 0 Part A: Describe the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the

dangina [55]

PART A:

The given quadratic equation is 2x²-10x-8=0

The radicand is given by b²-4ac where a, b, and c are the constants in a quadratic form ax²+bx+c

From the given equation, we have
a = 2
b = -10
c = -8

Radicand b²-4ac = (-10)² - 4(2)(-8) = 100 + 64 = 164

The radicand is >0 hence the quadratic equation has two distinct roots

PART B:

4x²-12x+5 = 0

We can use the factorization method to solve the equation
Firstly, we multiply 4 by 5 to get 20
Then we find the pair of numbers that multiply gives 20 and sum gives -12

The pair of number is -2 and -10
Rewriting the equation
4x²-2x-10x+5 = 0
2x(2x-1)-5(2x-1) = 0
(2x-1)(2x-5) = 0

2x-1 = 0 and 2x-5 = 0
x = 1/2 and x = 5/2
