The answer is D. 8 because this is the highest exponent of any of the variables in the equation.
"Rise over Run" is a common way of remembering this means that you work out how much the line has gone up and then dividing this by how much the line has gone to the left
Simplifying
b2 + -4b + -14 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0
Solving
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0
Solving for variable 'b'.
Begin completing the square.
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + -4b + 14 + b2 = 0 + 14
Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14
Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14
-4b + b2 = 0 + 14
Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
-4b + b2 = 14
The b term is -4b. Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.
Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4b + 4 + b2 = 14 + 4
Reorder the terms:
4 + -4b + b2 = 14 + 4
Combine like terms: 14 + 4 = 18
4 + -4b + b2 = 18
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + -2)(b + -2) = 18
Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.242640687
Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(b + -2) equal to 4.242640687 and -4.242640687. b + -2 = 4.242640687
Simplifying
b + -2 = 4.242640687
Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = 4.242640687
Solving
-2 + b = 4.242640687
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = 4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = 4.242640687 + 2
b = 4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: 4.242640687 + 2 = 6.242640687
b = 6.242640687
Simplifying
B = 6.242640687
Subproblem 2
b + -2 = -4.242640687
Simplifying
b + -2 = -4.242640687
Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = -4.242640687
Solving
-2 + b = -4.242640687
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = -4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = -4.242640687 + 2
b = -4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: -4.242640687 + 2 = -2.242640687
b = -2.242640687
Simplifying
b = -2.242640687
