Solve x^2 +14x = -24 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?

1 answer:

3 0

Start with x^2 +14x = -24,

Find HALF the value of 14: 7
Square this: 49
Add 49, and then subtract 49: x^2 + 14x + 49 - 49 = -24 We have a
perfect square
Rewrite the quadratic as the sq. of a binomial: trinomial on
the left
(x+7)^2 = 25

Take the sqrt of both sides: x+7 = plus or minus 5

Then x = -2 and x = -12

If you are graphing quadratic equations of the type
ax^2 + bx + c = 0

The equation will look like a "U" if "a" is positive or it will look like an upside-down "U" if "a" is negative

Give the degree of the polynomial -3w+x^6y^5-2+5y^4w^3x^2

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Here the degree of the polynomial is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the degree of the multivariate polynomials, we need to add up the powers of all the variables. So the total degree is given by the sum of all the powers of the highest powers terms.

Now in the given polynomial $-3w+x^6y^5-2+5y^4w^3x^2$

the term with the highest total powers is $x^6y^5$ and thus the total power is 6+5=11.

And hence the degree of this polynomial is 11.
