Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. x^2+12x+52=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
White raven [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(x + 6)² + 16 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square we will first need to get our equation to look like: x² + bx = c

Here we have x² + bx + c = 0 → x² + 12x + 52 = 0

  • First we need to subtract our c, in this case 52, from both sides to get x² + 12x = -52
  • We then need to add (\frac{b}{2} )^{2} to both sides of the equation
  • Here our b value is 12, so plugging this into our formula we get (\frac{12}{2} )^{2} =(6)^{2} =36
  • Adding 36 to both sides our equation becomes: x² + 12x + 36 = -52 + 36
  • Then combining like terms on the right side we get x² + 12x + 36 = -16
  • Now making our left side of the equation into a perfect square we get: (x + 6)² = -16
  • Finally adding the 16 to both sides of the equation we get: (x + 6)² + 16 = 0

Drag steps in the given order to evaluate this expression. <br><br> (4)(−3)−5−3(−6)
never [62]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

using PEDMAS(parentheses, exponents, division, multiply, addition, subtraction) to solve the problem

First we multiply (4)(-3)

(4)(−3)−5−3(−6)

Then multiply -3(-6)

(-12)-5-3(-6)

=-12-5+18

subtract 12-5

-12-5+18

=-17+18

Adding -17+18 gives us 1.

Therefore,  (4)(−3)−5−3(−6) is 1.
