Answer:

x= 2 + √11 or x = 2 −√11

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to complete the square step-by-step.

x² − 4x − 7=0

Step 1: Add 7 to both sides.

x² − 4x − 7+ 7 = 0 + 7

x² − 4x = 7

Step 2: The coefficient of -4x is -4. Let b = -4.

Then we need to add (b/2)² = 4 to both sides to complete the square.

Add 4 to both sides.

x² − 4x + 4 = 7 + 4

x² − 4x + 4 = 11

Step 3: Factor left side.

(x−2)² = 11

Step 4: Take square root.

x − 2 = ±√11

Step 5: Add 2 to both sides.

x − 2 + 2 = 2 ±√11

x = 2 ±√11

x= 2 + √11 or x = 2 −√11

Question 1
arlik [135]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be done without the Distance Formula (which is a way to find the distance between any two points in the plane).

The attached image shows the points and segments joining them.

PQ = 5 because the points are on the same horizontal line, and you can count spaces between them (or subtract x-coordinates: 4 - (-1) = 5).

PR = 12 because the points are on the same vertical line; count spaces or subtract y-coordinates, 7 - (-5) = 12.

The triangle is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse.

(\text{leg})^2+(\text{leg})^2=(\text{hypotenuse})^2

(QR)^2=5^2+12^2=25+144=169\\QR=\sqrt{169}=13

The perimeter of the triangle is 5 + 12 + 13 = 30
