Solve x²+5x+6=0 by completing the square​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Brums [2.3K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -2

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x 2+5x+6=0

To solve the equation, factor x^2+5x+6 using formula x^2+(a+b)x+ab=(x+a)(x+b). To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

a+b=5

ab=6

Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 6.

1,6

2,3

Calculate the sum for each pair.

1+6=7

2+3=5

The solution is the pair that gives sum 5.

a=2

b=3

Rewrite factored expression (x+a)(x+b) using the obtained values.

(x+2)(x+3)

To find equation solutions, solve x+2=0 and x+3=0.

x=−2

x=−3

Which question represents the line through (0,0) and (2,5)?
madam [21]

Answer:

y=5/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The line needs to go through the points (0,0) and (2,5).

With y=5/2x, there is no y-intercept, so it starts on the origin, (0,0). With the slope 5/2, you would rise 5 (y) from the origin, and run 2 (x), which gives you the point (2,5).
