Answer:
x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4
(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ± ( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ±
Thus
x = - 2 - ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 2 + ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms to one side
4x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0
Plug into quadratic formula
x = (-4 <u>+</u> ) / 2(4)
= (-4 <u>+</u> )/8
At this point, there are no real answers. The roots to this equation are complex.
x = (-4 <u>+</u> 8i)/8
= (-1 <u>+</u> 2i)/2
