Find the exact roots of x^2+10x-8=0 by completing the square

From the original equation x^2+10x-8=0, move the loose number on the other side. Your new equation will be x^2+10x=8. Moving an element from one side to another reverses its sign. From -8 to +8. Then take half of the x-term and square it and add it on both sides. X-term is 10x and 10 is the number, half of it is 5 then square of 5 is 25. Add 25 on both side. Your new equation will be x^2+10x+25=8+25. Then complete the square form of the left side of the equation, (x+5)^2=33. Square root both side then you will get x+5=squareroot of 33. Your x = -5 plus/minus squareroot of 33.

If XY=18, YZ=14, and XZ=20, find the radius of each circle.
Pachacha [2.7K]
Let`s assume that points M, N and P are the touching points of those 3 circles:Then:Y M + M Z = 14,Z N + N X = 20X P + P Y = 18And also: M Z = ZN, Y M = P Y and N X = X P.Now we have a system of 3 equations ( Y M, M Z and X P  are the radii of each circle ):Y M + M Z = 14M Z + X P = 20X P + Y M = 18 Y M - M Z = - 14+X P  + Y M = 18 X P - M Z  = 4Y M - M Z = - 14+M Z + X P = 20 X P - Y M = 6  /* ( - 1 )X P  - M Z = 4 X P + Y M = - 6  X P - M Z = 4    Y M - M Z = - 2           Y M + M Z = 14            2 Y M = 12  =>  Y M = 6M Z - 6 = 2  =>   M Z = 8X P + 6 = 18 
 X P = 12
Radii of the circles are: 12, 8 and 6.
