Answer:

{1, 7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0.

We want to modify the first two terms to resemble x^2 - ax + b - b, where a is the coefficient (here -8) of the x term and b is the square of half of a.

Here, a = -8.  Half of that is -4.  The square of -4 is 16, and this is the value of b.

Write out x^2 - 8x     as    x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16.  This is the perfect square of -4, added to x^2 - 8x and then subtracted from the result

Then the original equation, x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0, can be rewritten as:

x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16 + 7 = 0, and then as (x - 4)^2 - 9, or (x - 4)^2 = 9.

We want to solve this result for x.  To do this, take the square root of both sides:

x - 4 = ±√9, or x - 4 = ±3.

Adding 4 to both sides, we get:

x = 4 ± 3.  Thus, the solutions are x = 4 + 3 = 7 and x = 4 - 3 = 1.

Answer:

x = 7, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^{2} - 8x + 7 = 0

x^{2} - 8x = -7

x^{2} - 8x + (-4)^{2} = -7+(-4)^{2} → the -4^{2} was obtained by doing \frac{b}{2} ^{2}

x^{2} - 8x + 16 = 9

(x - 4) = ± \sqrt{9}

(x - 4) = ± 3

x = 3 + 4 or x = -3 + 4

Note:

What makes this a "complete-the-square" procedure? - Well, we created a perfect suqare when doing \frac{b}{2}^{2} , and that is what makes our procedure a "complete-the-suqare" procedure.

Hope it helped,

HELP ME Using the following equation, complete the square and find the center and radius of the circle:
IrinaK [193]

Answer: (-2,3), r=5\ \text{units}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the equation is x^2+y^2+4x-6y-12=0

completing the square

\Rightarrow (x^2+2\times 2\times x+4-4)+(y^2-2\times3\times y+9-9)-12=0\\\Rightarrow (x^2+2\times 2\times x+4)+(y^2-2\times3\times y+9)-12-4-9=0\\\Rightarrow (x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=25\\\Rightarrow (x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=5^2\\\Rightarrow (x-(-2))^2+(y-3)^2=5^2

Thus, the center of the circle is (-2,3) and radius is r=5\ \text{units}
