What number should be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square? x2 - 6x = 5

Answer:

First of all, it is better to note that x2 is not equal to x² .In mathematics x2 is equal to 2nd x or 2x i.e. 2 times x=2*x=x*2.

I don't know what this question means ! But if it means to just confine x2 and -6x in a square or to make them part of a square then it could be done as follows.

Assume x2 as x² as per your needs as case may be.

Now use the identity

(a² - 2a×b + b²) =(a - b )²

Here , in LHS

a appears twice as in a² and in 2a×b.

So for given expression (x2 – 6x = 5) or (x² – 6x = 5) or (x² - 6x -5 =0)

Assume x=a

Then,

6x =2*x*3 =2*a*b

=> 3 = b

Thus

(x² - 6x -5 =0)

=> x² - 2*x*3 + 3² -3² -5 =0

=> ( x² - 2*x*3 + 3² ) - 3² -5 =0

=> (x - 3)² - 3² = 5

=> (x - 3)² = 5 + 3²

=> (x - 3)² = 5 + 9 = 14 = ( ±√(14) )²

Now comparing

(x² – 6x = 5) and (x - 3)² = 5 + 9,

it can be said that number 9 should be added to both sides of (x² – 6x = 5) or (x² – 6x) = ( 5 ) to make ( x² ) and (-6x ) as the constituting parts of the square (x-3)² .

I hope it helps.

Thank you  for patiently reading it.

Apply The Remainder Theorem, Fundamental Theorem, Rational Root Theorem, Descartes Rule, and Factor Theorem to find the remainde
Over [174]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  possible rational roots: ±{1/3, 2/3, 1, 4/3, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}

  actual roots: -1, (2 ±4i√2)/3

  no turning points; no local extrema

  end behavior is same-sign as x-value end-behavior

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fundamental Theorem tells us this 3rd-degree polynomial will have 3 roots.

The Rational Root Theorem tells us any rational roots will be of the form ...

  ±{factor of 12}/{factor of 3} = ±{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}/{1, 3}

  = ±{1/3, 2/3, 1, 4/3, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12} . . . possible rational roots

Descartes' Rule of Signs tells us the two sign changes mean there will be 0 or 2 positive real roots. Changing signs on the odd-degree terms makes the sign-change count go to 1, so we know there is one negative real root.

The y-intercept is 12. The sum of all coefficients is 22, so f(1) > f(0) and there are no positive real roots in the interval [0, 1]. Synthetic division by x-1 shows the remainder is 22 (which we knew) and all the quotient coefficients are all positive. This means x=0 is an upper bound on the real roots.

The sum of odd-degree coefficients is 3+8=11, equal to the sum of even-degree coefficients, -1+12=11. This means that -1 is a real root. Synthetic division by x+1 shows the remainder is zero (which we knew) and the quotient coefficients alternate signs. This means x=-1 is a lower bound on real roots. The quotient of 3x^2 -4x +12 is a quadratic factor of f(x):

  f(x) = (x +1)(3x^2 -4x +12)

The complex roots of the quadratic can be found using the quadratic formula:

  x = (-(-4) ±√((-4)^2 -4(3)(12)))/(2(3)) = (4 ± √-128)/6

  x = (2 ± 4i√2)/3 . . . . complex roots

__

The graph in the third attachment (red) shows there are no turning points, hence no relative extrema. The end behavior, as for any odd-degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient, is down to the left and up to the right.
