Solve by completing the square. x^2 + 4x – 1= 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = -2 ± sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x – 1= 0

Add 1 to each side

x^2 + 4x – 1+1= 0+1

x^2 +4x = 1

Take the coefficient of x

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2=4

Add it to each side

x^2 +4x+4=1+4

(x+2)^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x+2)^2 )=± sqrt(5)

x+2 = ± sqrt(5)

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = -2 ± sqrt(5)

x = -2 ± sqrt(5)

I’ll send a picture of problem and graph I don’t know how to write it out on here.
JulsSmile [24]

• Given the table of values, you can identify these points:

(0,4),(1,8),(2,12),(3,16),(5,24),(6,28),(7,32)

If you plot them on a Coordinate Plane, you get:

As you can observe, it is a Linear Function.

• The equation of a line in Slope-Intercept Form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case, you can identify in the graph that:

b=4

Therefore, you can substitute that value and the coordinates of one of the points on the line, into this equation:

y=mx+b

And then solve for "m", in order to find the slope of the line.

Using this point:

(1,8)

You get:

\begin{gathered} 8=m(1)+4 \\ 8-4=m \\ m=4 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation for the data in Slope-Intercept Form is:

y=4x+4

Hence, the answer is:

• It represents a Linear Function.

,

• Equation:

y=4x+4
