Answer:
x ≈ - 9.41, x ≈ - 6.59
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 16x + 62 = 0 ( subtract 62 from both sides )
x² + 16x = - 62
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(8)x + 64 = - 62 + 64
(x + 8)² = 2 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 8 = ± ( subtract 8 from both sides )
x = - 8 ±
Hence
x = - 8 - ≈ - 9.41
x = - 8 + ≈ - 6.59
Answer:
Ladonna: a + c + b
Step-by-step explanation:
-The commutative property in addition states that the order of arrangement of the integers to be added has no effect on their sum such that:
-Since the alphabet follows the order a,b, c....
Only Ladonna rearranged to change this order to show the commutative property.
-Hence, Ladonna wrote the expression correctly.
*The commutative property should not be confused with the associative property.
-The latter allows you to change the order and terms within the closed parentheses while retaining the answer.
