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

Mathematics

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

Consider the numbers 4/15 and 3/10 (a) Compare the numbers. (B) find a fraction between the two given numbers
valentinak56 [21]
As a decimal 4/15 = 0.2666667
As a decimal 3/10 = 0.3 [talk about close]
3/10 is bigger.

You could take an average to find something between 4/15 and 3/10
1/2(4/15 + 2/10)
1/2(8/30 + 6/30)
1/2(14/30)
1/2(7/15)
7/30 is between the two given numbers..
