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

If f(x) = –5x – 4 and g(x) = –3x – 2, find (f – g)(x).
Murljashka [212]
Hello!

We'll start by simplifying the required formula. (f – g)(x) can be rewritten as the following:

f(x) – g(x)

Now insert any known values into the simplified formula above:

(-5x – 4) – (-3x – 2)

Eliminate the parentheses by simplifying:

-5x – 4 + 3x + 2

Combine like terms:

-2x – 2

We have now proven that (f – g)(x) is equal to (-2x – 2).

The correct answer is C.

I hope this helps!

What is x over 5 - 68 = -95
vagabundo [1.1K]
Hello, there!


This would look like: x/5 - 68 = -95

First, we want to isolate the x.

x/5 - 68 = -95
      +68    +68

 x/5 = -27

Now, we will work backwards to find the x.

-27 * 5 = x

-27 * 5 = -135

x = -135

Your answer is -135


I hope I helped!
