the first few steps in solving the quadratic equation 5x2 27x = 14 − 13x by completing the square are shown. 5x2 27x = 14 − 13x
5x2 40x = 14 5(x2 8x) = 14 which is the best step to do next to solve the equation by completing the square? 5(x2 8x 16) = 30 5(x2 8x 16) = 94 5(x2 8x 4) = 18 5(x2 8x 4) = 34
The best step to do next is to add 80 to both sides of equation: 5 ( x² + 8 x ) + 80 = 14 + 80 and since 80 = 5 · 16 5 ( x² + 8 x + 16 ) = 94 Answer : B ) After that we will continue like this: 5 ( x + 4 )² = 94 ( x + 4 )² = 18.8 ... etc
You forgot to add in your height to your question. To find your area you need to do 8 + 14 and get 22 then you nee to do the height divided by two. If you give me the height of the triangle I can tell you the area.
