How do i solve x squared = 4x -5

Mathematics
1 answer:
ICE Princess25 [194]2 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

HELP ASAP!! 100 POINTS!!<br><br> describe how you would plot the point (-4, 3)
fredd [130]

Answer:

Hi!

First you would start at -4 on the x-axis, then you would move up 3 spaces and put your point there.

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line.

I hope this helps you!

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points : (4 , -1 ) and (0 , -3)
Sergio [31]

Answer:

B. y= 1/2 x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

base equation: y= mx+ b

slope(m) equation: \frac{y_{2}-y_{2}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

y2= -1    y1= -3

x2= 4     x1= 0

\frac{-1 - (-3)}{4-0} =\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

y- intercept: -3

found by taking the y from (0,-3)

What the length of the hypotenuse
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

73.43

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any hypotenuse use the Pythagorean theorem:a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

  • First, square 36 (which would be 36 x 36) and square 64 (64 x 64).
  • Add them together.
  • Find the square root of the total.
  • That's your answer :)
  • Or you can just run it through this: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+calculate+hypotenuse&oq=how+to+calculate+hypot&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l6.8070j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Find X intercept of f(x)=2(x-4)^2+2
Fofino [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2( x - 4) ^{2}  + 2 \\ f(x) = 2({x}^{2}  - 8x + 16) + 2 \\ f(x) = 2 {x}^{2}  - 16x + 32 + 2 \\ f(x) = 2 {x}^{2}  - 16x + 34
