Solve the following quadratic equation for x by completing the square and solve x^2-8x=-65​

Answer:

x= 4-7i  x= 4+ 7i

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 : make equation = 0

x^{2} - 8x + 65 = 0

step 2 : solve for x [ using the quadratic equation]

ie :     x = -b ± \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} / 2a

so it will look like this

x= -(-8) ± \sqrt{(-8)^{2} - 4(1)(65)} /2(1)

when you simplify you wont be able to root the -196 so you will have to separate the roots

x = 8 ±( \sqrt{-1} )( \sqrt{196}) / 2

now there is a rule for negative roots whereby  \sqrt{-1} is equivalent to i so now you will change \sqrt{-1} into i

Simplify \sqrt{196}

which will give you 14

now place all the new values into the formula

8 ± 14i /2

you can then further simplify to  

4 ± 7i

step 3 : separate

this will give you the final answer of

x= 4 + 7i   x= 4- 7i

I need help!<br><br>solve for x​
Volgvan

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a fun fact, all of those angles actually add up to 360 degrees!

How do we know this? Well if you were to draw a small arc between each of the lines, you would see that the arc would end up making a circle. And remember, circles have 360 degrees!

Now we can do some basic algebra. Add up all the angles and set that equal to 360.

(2x) + (x) + (3x + 20) + (2x+20) = 360.

8x + 40 = 360

8x = 320

x = 40

Hope this helped!
