The expression will be 589/15
The answers are 3.19 or -2.19.
In order to complete the square, you must first get the constant to the other side of the equation. WE do that by adding 7 to both sides.
x^2 - x - 7 = 0
x^2 - x = 7
Now we must take half of the x coefficient (-1), which would be -.5. Then we square it and add it to both sides. This is the second step to any completing the square problem.
x^2 - x = 7
x^2 - x + .25 = 7.25
Now that we have done that, the left side will be a perfect square so that, we can factor it.
x^2 - x + .25 = 7.25
(x - .5)^2 = 7.25
After having done that, we can take the square root of both sides
(x - .5)^2 = 7.25
x - .5 = +/-
Now we can take the value of that square root and solve.
x - .5 = +/-
x - .5 = +/-2.69
x = .5 +/- 2.69
And with the + and - both there, we need to do both to get the two answers.
.5 + 2.69 = 3.19
.5 - 2.69 = -2.19
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
all odd numbers possible: 1, 3, 5, 7
__ __ __ __
there are 4 possibilities for the first blank
for the second blank there are 4-1 = 3 possibilities as one of the numbers will have been used
for the third blank there are 4-2 = 2 possibilities as 2 of the numbers have been used
for the last blank there is only 1 possibility
so the number of solutions possible is 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24
Answer:
2(5x - 4)(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
10x^2 + 2x − 8 =
First, factor out the GCF of all terms which is 2.
= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)
5x^2 factors into 5x and x.
= 2(5x )(x )
-4 factors into -4 and 1, -1 and 4, and -2 and 2. Use the set of two factors in the proper positions that will give the middle term.
= 2(5x - 4)(x + 1)
