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.

Answer:

64=2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2=2^6

Step-by-step explanation:

Gabrielle and John each

wrote the prime factorization of 64.

64 can be break into 32 times 2

32 can be break into 16 times 2

16 can be break into 8 and 2

8 can be break into 4 times 2

4 can be break into 2 times 2

So 64 is equal to 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2

64=2^6

A baseball has a diameter of 6 cm. If you wanted to replace the inside of the baseball with air, how much would be needed in cub
e-lub [12.9K]
This is just another way of asking "what is the volume of a sphere of 6cm"
The volume of a sphere is V= \frac{3}{4} \pi  R^{3}
The R is 3cm in this problem since the diameter is twice the radius. For a 3cm radius sphere this is 113.1cm^3

What is the area of this composite shape
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

51in

Step-by-step explanation:

you first have to find the area of the square by multiplying 6 and 7 which is 42. Then you have to find area of the triangle and the formula to do that is (length×width)÷2 . to find the length you have to subtract 7 from 13 which is 6 and the length you have to do 6-3 which is 3 then (6×3)÷2=9 and then you add the area of the square and the area of the triangle and get 42+9=51
