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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mila [183]3 years ago
4 0

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

The drama club is showing a video of their recent play.The first showing will begin at 2:30pm.The second showing was scheduled t
Rudiy27
The second showing had begun at 5:25. And there had been a 1/2 hour (30 minutes) break before it. So we substract this break from 5:25 and we get 4:55 - the time when the first showing had ended. 

So the first showing had begun at 2:30 and had ended at 4:55. By substracting 2:30 from 4:55 we get 2:25 - that's the duration of the video.

The answer is 2 hours and 25 minutes.
