Solve for x use the completing the square method x^2+6x=5

Mrac [35]

Answer:

$x_{1} =-3 +\sqrt{14} \\\\x_{2} =-3 -\sqrt{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{2}$ +6x-5=0

we divide the coefficient of the X by half :

in this case: 6/2 = 3 , then we do the following

The result obtained is raised to square power: 3^2=9

we sum and subtract by 9 to maintain the balance of the equation:

$x^{2}$ +6x+9-9-5=0

we have:

$(x+3)^{2}$ -9-5=0

$(x+3)^{2}$ = 14

lets apply square root on both sides of the equation:

$\sqrt{(x+3)^{2}}=\sqrt{14}$

we know:

$\sqrt{a^{2}} = abs(a)$

so we have:

abs(x+3)= $\sqrt{14}$

from where two solutions are obtained

$x_{1} + 3 =\sqrt{14} \\\\x_{2} + 3 =-\sqrt{14}$

finally we have:

$x_{1} =-3 +\sqrt{14} \\\\x_{2} =-3 -\sqrt{14}$

Find sec A and cot B exactly if a = 8 and b = 7.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

sec A= 1.01 and cot B =8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

sec A and cotB if a =8 and b=7

Now,

= $sec A=\frac{1}{cos A} \\\\\frac{1}{cos 8} \\\\\frac{1}{0.99} \\1.01$

and

$cot B=\frac{cosB}{sin B} \\cotB=\frac{cos 7}{sin7} \\cot B =\frac{0.99}{0.12} \\cot B =8.25$

Therefore, answer will be sec A= 1.01 and cot B =8.25
