How do i solve x squared = 4x -5

Mathematics
1 answer:
ICE Princess25 [194]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 2 ±i

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 4x-5

Subtract 4x from each side

x^2 - 4x = 4x-5 -4x

x^2 - 4x= -5

Complete the square

Take the coefficient of the x term, divide by 2 and square it

-4/2 =2   2^2 =4

Add 4 to each side

x^2 -4x+4 = -5 +4

The left side is (x-coefficient of the x term/2)^2

(x-2)^2 = -1

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-2)^2) = sqrt(-1)

x-2 = ±i

Add 2 to each side

x-2+2 = 2 ±i

x = 2 ±i

Each of the rectangle strips are taped together to form a rectangle. Therefore 1 of the third of the rectangle would be red, this means that 1/3 of the rectangle would be red color. The rectangle is then divide into sixths, this can be achieved by dividing each of the taped strip into 2.

Therefore 2 of the sixths rectangle would be red in color, Hence the fraction of the rectangle that would be red is given as 2/6
