Complete the square

since a=1 for ax²+bx²+c=0
we can do
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
-6/2=-3, (-3)²=9
add that to both sides

x²-3x+9-25=9
factor perfect square trinomial
(x-3)²-25=9
add 25 to both sides
(x-3)²=34
sqrt both sides, rmember to take positive and negative roots
x-3=+/-√34
add 3
x=3+/-√34

x=3+√34 or 3-√34

A jar of natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it's on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount
kakasveta [241]
$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)
