For this case we have the following expression:

x ^ 2-8x = 3

We must complete squares.

So:

We divide the middle term between two and we square it:

(\frac {-8} {2}) ^ 2, then:

x ^ 2-8x + (\frac {-8} {2}) ^ 2 = 3 + (\frac {-8} {2}) ^ 2\\x ^ 2-8x + (- 4) ^ 2 = 3 + 16

We have to, by definition:

(a-b) ^ 2 = a ^ 2-2ab + b ^ 2

Then, rewriting:

((x-4) ^ 2 = 19

To find the roots, we apply square root on both sides:

x-4 = \sqrt {19}

We have two solutions:

x_ {1} = \sqrt {19} +4\\x_ {2} = - \sqrt {19} +4

Answer:

((x-4) ^ 2 = 19\\x_ {1} = \sqrt {19} +4\\x_ {2} = - \sqrt {19} +4

Answer:

{-0.36, 8.36) to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x = 3

(x - 4)^2 - 16 = 3

(x - 4)^2 = 19

Taking square roots:

x - 4 = +/- √19

x =  4 +/- √19

x = {-0.36, 8.36} to nearest 1/100.

Suppose you have three consecutive integers.The greatest of the three integers is twice as great as the sum of the first two.Wha
vredina [299]

Answer:

0, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since there are three consecutive integers, you have the equations

x, x+1, x+2 where x is the smallest number.

The greatest of the three integers= x+2

Finish setting up your equation;

2(x+x+1)=x+2

Combine like terms;

2(2x+1)=x+2

Distribute;

4x+2=x+2

3x=0

x=0

x+1=1

x+2=2

Hope this helps:) Have a good day!
