Answer:

The solution set of the equation are (2,0) and (-12,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation x^2+10x=24

To find : Solve equation by completing the square ?

Solution :

The general form of quadratic equation is ax^2+bx+c=0

So, x^2+10x-24=0

To complete the square we add and subtract (\frac{b}{2})^2

i.e. (\frac{b}{2})^2=(\frac{10}{2})^2=5^2

Applying in equation,

x^2+10x-24+5^2-5^2=0

Re-writ equation as,

x^2+2\times 5\times x+5^2-24-25=0

Apply a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2

(x+5)^2-49=0

(x+5)^2=49

Taking root both side,

x+5=\pm \sqrt{49}

x+5=\pm 7

x+5=7 or x+5=-7

x=2 or x=-12

Therefore, the solution set of the equation are (2,0) and (-12,0)

\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{So the question gives us this equation:}\\\\ \mathsf{x^2+10x=24}\\\\ \mathsf{x^2+2\cdot 5x=24}\\\\ \textsf{In order to complete the square on the left side, just add }\mathsf{5^2}\\\textsf{to both sides of the equation above:}\\\\ \mathsf{x^2+2\cdot 5x+5^2=24+5^2}\\\\ \mathsf{x^2+5x+5x+5^2=24+25}\\\\ \mathsf{x(x+5)+5(x+5)=49} \end{array}

\large\begin{array}{l} \mathsf{(x+5)(x+5)=49}\\\\ \mathsf{(x+5)^2=49}\\\\\\ \textsf{So,}\\\\ \mathsf{x+5=\pm\,\sqrt{49}}\\\\ \mathsf{x+5=\pm\,7}\\\\ \mathsf{x=\pm\,7-5} \end{array}

\large\begin{array}{l} \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{x=-7-5}&~\textsf{ or }~&\mathsf{x=7-5}\\\\ \mathsf{x=-12}&~\textsf{ or }~&\mathsf{x=2} \end{array}\\\\\\ \textsf{Solution set: }\mathsf{S=\{-12,\,2\}.}\qquad\checkmark \end{array}

A: -4<br> B: -16<br> C: 15<br> D: -5
baherus [9]
The answer here is B. -16

10 + -16 equals -6 and a negative divided by a negative is a positive so -6 divided by -3 is -2.

Hope this helps!

Choose the four expressions that are equivalent to 3^-4 ?
Ivan

3^(-4) means "one over 3^4"

    1/(3^4)

That's equal to

    1/81

and

    (1/3)^4

This is also equal to 3^2/3^6.  

So four of those are correct.

find two consecutive even numbers such that the sum of 3 times the smaller and 5 times the larger is 106​
VARVARA [1.3K]
To find that you would do (such that x is the unknown) 3x+5(x+2)=106
and if you do this you will find that x=12

so the two numbers you are looking for are 12 and 14
