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)

MVUT =175, mVUJ=17x-3, and mJUT=17x+8. Find x
kotykmax [81]
The diagram of the three angles is shown below with point U as the point where all three lines meet.

Angles property: Angles around a point add up to 360°

We set up an equation

175+17x-3+17x+8=360
180+34x=360
34x=360-180
34x=180
x= \frac{180}{34}= \frac{90}{17}

Terri is rewriting 7 to the 13th power in expanded form. How many factors should she use in her expression?
Pachacha [2.7K]
13


Because the exponent is really just how many factors you have.
For example 2 to the power 5 would have 5 factors in expanded form.
