Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. =+x^2+16x +61=0

1 answer:

3 0

X^2 + 16x + 61 = 0
x^2 + 16x = -61
x^2 + 16x + 64 = -61 + 64
(x + 8)^2 = 3
x + 8 = (+-) sqrt 3
x = -8 (+-) sqrt 3

x = -8 + sqrt 3...and x = -8 - sqrt 3 <== ur solutions

Answer:

10x -5 +5h

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the function definition with the given arguments.

$\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\dfrac{(5(x+h)^2-5(x+h))-(5x^2-5x)}{h}\\\\=\dfrac{(5(x^2+2hx+h^2)-5(x+h))-(5x^2-5x)}{h}\\\\=\dfrac{5x^2+10hx+5h^2-5x-5h-5x^2+5x}{h}=\dfrac{10hx-5h+5h^2}{h}\\\\=\boxed{10x-5+5h}$
