Division is repeated subtraction, just like multiplication is repeated addition. If you divide 50 by 10, you get 5. This is also the question: How many times do you have to subtract 10 from 50 to get 0?

Multiplication is said to be rapid addition. It is like adding a large group of numbers at once. This is the same with subtraction and division. Division is essentially rapid subtraction. Let me know if you need more help.

Solving Quadratic Equations using the Square Root Property

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

$x = -2$ or $x = -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to complete the square before you can take the square root of both sides.

$x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$x^2 + 7x = -10$

To complete the square, you need to add the square of half of the x-term coefficient to both sides.

The x-term coefficient is 7. Half of that is 7/2. Square it to get 49/4. Now we add 49/4 to both sides of the equation.

$x^2 + 7x + \dfrac{49}{4} = -10 + \dfrac{49}{4}$

$(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = -\dfrac{40}{4} + \dfrac{49}{4}$

$(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = \dfrac{9}{4}$

Now we use the square root property, if

$x^2 = k$ , then

$x = \pm \sqrt{k}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{9}{4}}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \dfrac{3}{2}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \dfrac{3}{2}$ or $x + \dfrac{7}{2} = -\dfrac{3}{2}$

$x = -\dfrac{4}{2}$ or $x = -\dfrac{10}{2}$

$x = -2$ or $x = -5$
