Find the zeros of y=x2-4x-9 by completing the square

Mathematics
1 answer:
Naya [18.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2 ± \sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let y = 0, that is

x² - 4x - 9 = 0 ( add 9 to both sides )

x² - 4x = 9

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 2) x + 4 = 9 + 4

(x - 2)² = 13 ← take the square root of both sides

x - 2 = ± \sqrt{13} ← add 2 to both sides

x = 2 ± \sqrt{13}

Hi can anyone help me with this ..​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

n = π/6, π/4, 3π/4, 5π/6

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(3n) − sin n = cos(2n)

Use double and triple angle formulas:

(3 sin n − 4 sin³ n) − sin n = 1 − 2 sin² n

2 sin n − 4 sin³ n = 1 − 2 sin² n

4 sin³ n − 2 sin² n − 2 sin n + 1 = 0

Factor by grouping:

2 sin² n (2 sin n − 1) − (2 sin n − 1) = 0

(2 sin² n − 1) (2 sin n − 1) = 0

Solve:

2 sin² n − 1 = 0

2 sin² n = 1

sin² n = 1/2

sin n = √2/2

n = π/4, 3π/4

2 sin n − 1 = 0

2 sin n = 1

sin n = 1/2

n = π/6, 5π/6
