What are the roots of the equation x^2+6x-9=0

Mathematics

Mila [183]3 years ago

Answer:

x = approx. 1.24 or -7.24

Step-by-step explanation:

It's hard to factor directly so we should use the quadratic formula or complete the square. I'm going to go with completing the square.

x²+6x-9=0

x²+6x=9

x²+6x is the same as x²+2·3·x, in order to make this into the algebraic identity (A+B)²=A²+2AB+B², we must add B², or in this case 3² to both sides. (A is x, B is 3)

x²+6x+9=18

(x+3)²= 18

x+3= ±√18

x= ±4.24 -3 (approximately 4.24)

First solution for  x = 4.24-3 = 1.24

Second solution for x = -4.24-3 = -7.24

Adam is going to cook a turkey for 14 people and wants to allow ¾ lb of turkey for each person.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
I did (450*3/4=337.5) to get how much each person would eat, then I did (337.5*14=4725g) to see how big the turkey should be. I then converted grams to kilos (4725*0.001=4.725 kg), and I got how big the turkey would be. It turns out the appropriate size of the turkey would be medium, so then what I did was that I looked for the medium price of the turkey per kg, and found that it was £5.99 per kg. I did (4.725*5.99) and I got about £28.30. It would cost £28.30 for 14 people.
