Finding the roots by completing the square

1 answer:

Andrej [43]3 years ago

For y=x^2-6x-11

complete the square

so roots
set y=0
0=x^2-6x-11

group x terms
0=(x^2-6x)-11
take 1/2 of linear coefient (-6) and square it
-6/2=-3, (-3)^2=9
add positive and neative to inside of parenthasees
0=(x^2-6x+9-9)-11
complete square
0=((x-3)^2-9)-11
expand
0=(x-3)^2-9-11
0=(x-3)^2-20
add 20 to both sides
20=(x-3)^2
sqrt both sides
remember positive and negative roots

+/-2√5=x-3
add 3 to both sides
3+/-2√5=x

so
x=3+2√5 and 3-2√5

A Standard number is<br> tossed find each<br> Probability.<br> P (4 or less than 6)

Klio2033 [76]

the probability of rolling 4 or a number less than 6 is P = 5/6

<h3 /><h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

The standard number cube has the outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

We want to find the probability of rolling 4 or a number less than 6. (4 is a number less than 6).

The outcomes that meet that condition are:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

So 5 out of 6 outcomes meet the condition, then the probability is:

P(4 or less than 6) = 5/6

a square garden has a diagonal of 12 m. What is the perimeter of the garden? Express in simplest radical form

lianna [129]

Answer:

The perimeter of the garden, in meters, is $24\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal of a square:

The diagonal of a square is found applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

The diagonal of the square is the hypothenuse, while we have two sides.

Diagonal of 12m:

This means that $d = 12$ , side s. So

$s^2 + s^2 = 12^2$

$2s^2 = 144$

$s^2 = \frac{144}{2}$

$s^2 = 72$

$s = \sqrt{72}$

Factoring 72:

Factoring 72 into prime factors, we have that:

72|2

36|2

18|2

9|3

3|3

1

So

$72 = 2^{3}*3^{2}$

So, in simplest radical form:

$s = \sqrt{72} = \sqrt{2^{3}*3^{2}} = \sqrt{2^3}*\sqrt{3^2} = 2\sqrt{2}*3 = 6\sqrt{2}$

Perimeter of the garden:

The perimeter of a square with side of s units is given by:

$P = 4s$

In this question, since $s = 6\sqrt{2}$

$P = 4s = 4*6\sqrt{2} = 24\sqrt{2}$

The perimeter of the garden, in meters, is $24\sqrt{2}$
