2x²-3x-15=5
2x²-3x-15-5=0
2x²-3x-20=0
½(2x+5)(2x-8)

-2x=-5
x=-5/2

2x-8=0
2x=8
x=4

Answer:

x = -1, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

${(x + 3)}^{2} = 4 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 2 \times x \times 3 + {3}^{2} = 4 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 6x + 9 = 4 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 6x = 4 - 9 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 6x = - 5 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 6x + 5 = 0 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 5x + x + 5 = 0 \\ = > x(x + 5) + 1(x + 5) = 0 \\ = > (x + 1)(x + 5) \\ = > x = - 1 \: \: or \: \: - 5$

Using the completing-the-square method, rewrite f(x) = x2 − 8x + 3 in vertex form.

lys-0071 [83]

f(x) = x² - 8x + 3
y = x² - 8x + 3
- 3 - 3
y - 3 = x² - 8x + 16
y - 3 + 16 = x² - 8x + 16
y + 13 = x² - 8x + 16
y + 13 = (x - 4)²
- 13 - 13
y = (x - 4)² - 13
f(x) = (x - 4)² - 13
