place the following steps in order to complete the square and solve for the quadratic equation, x squared -6x +7=0

1 answer:

4 0

To solve the quadratic by complete square method we proceed as follows:
x²-6x+7=0
this can be written as:
x²-6x=-7
but
c=(-b/2a)^2
c=(-(-6)/2)^2=9
next we add 9 on both sides of our expression to get:
x²-6x+9=-7+9
x²-6x+9=2
factoring out the LHS we get:
(x-3)(x-3)=2
(x-3)²=2
getting the square root of both sides we obtain:
x-3=+/-√2
hence:
x=3+/-√2

The diagram shows a right-angled triangle.

Alexus [3.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

there is no diagram so I'm just going to guess this however

sin x = 6/9

sin x = 2/3

sin x = 0.67

x = sin inverse of 0.67

x = 42.1

Which expression shows the distance you would drive from the gym to the office along this road?

B because absolute value means the distance of a point on a number line from 0. So the absolute value of -6 is 6 and you add that to 4

Maricella solves for x in the equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1. She begins by adding –4 + 4 on the left side of the equation an

Elodia [21]

Maricella’s strategy is incorrect as the values added on the left and right side of the equation changes the original equation $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1$ to $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3$ .

Further explanation:

Maricella begin by adding $-4+4$ on the left side of the equation and $1+1$ on the right side of the equation $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1$ .

The value added on the left is equal to zero so it does not change the equation but the value added on the right is 2, a non-zero digit so it changes the equation as shown below.

$4x-2(3x-4)+4-4+4=-x+3(x+1)+1+1+1\\4x-2(3x-4)+4+0=-x+3(x+1)+1+2\\4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3$

Therefore, the strategy used by Maricella will change the equation and so the solution of the equation will be incorrect.

One way of solving such a linear equation is by adding or subtracting the required value on each side of the equation. and then simplifying the further equation.

Similarly, the other way to solve any linear equation is by separating the variable terms on one side of the equation and constant terms on the other side of the equation.

After this simplify the linear equation to obtain the solution of the equation for $x$ .

Whereas Maricella’s strategy fails to solve the equation $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1$ since the values added and subtracted in the equation changes the original equation completely.
