Because
1 times 1=1 ,1plus1=2
2 times 2=4,4plus4=8
3 times 3=9,9plus9=18
4times4=16,16plus16=32
Answer:
x = 4
Explanation:
Given the expression;
![\sqrt[]{x}-4\text{ = -2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bx%7D-4%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%20-2%7D)
Add 4 to both sides
![\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{x}-4+4\text{ = -2+4} \\ \sqrt[]{x}=\text{ 2} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bx%7D-4%2B4%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%20-2%2B4%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bx%7D%3D%5Ctext%7B%202%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Square both sides
![\begin{gathered} (\sqrt[]{x})^2=2^2 \\ x\text{ = 4} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%28%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bx%7D%29%5E2%3D2%5E2%20%5C%5C%20x%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%204%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Hence the value of x is 4
18 + 81 = 9(x²<span> + 6x + 9)
</span><span>11 = (x + 3)</span>²
When we are completing the square, we are going to move the value of c across the equals. We will do that by adding, and end up with
18=9(x²+6x)
We take the value of b (the coefficient of x), divide it by 2 and square it:
(6/2)²=3²=9
This is the value that completes the square. However, since the entire square is multiplied by 9, this value must be multiplied by 9 before we can add it across the equals:
18+9(9) = 9(x²+6x+9)
18+81=9(x²+6x+9)
99=9(x²+6x+9)
Dividing both sides by 9, we have:
11=x²+6x+9
11=(x+3)²
(10(1-(1/2)^5)/1-(1/2) =
20(1-1/32)
=155/8
