Question

X^2-12x+12=0 completing the square

Answer 1

Answer:

x1 = 6 + 2√6 or x2 = 6 - 2√6

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 12x + 12 = 0

We need to use formula:

a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)².

x² - 12x  =  - 12

x² - 2*6x + 6²- 6² = - 12

(x - 6)² - 36 = -12

(x - 6)² = - 12 + 36

(x -6)² = 24

(x - 6) = √24 or (x-6) = -√24

(x - 6) = 2√6 or (x-6) = - 2√6

x = 6 + 2√6 or x = 6 - 2√6
