What number should be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square in x^2 +8x=17

Hey there! :)
The formula for (a + b)^2 is a^2 + 2ab + b^2. In this case, x is a, and so b would have to be 4. We would need to add 4^2 = 16 to both sides of the equation to complete the square.

Hope this helps!

Given: A, B, and C What is the value of X in the matrix equation AX + B = C?

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is, AX + B = C

$A=\begin{bmatrix}-3 & -4\\ 1 & 0\end{bmatrix}$

$B=\begin{bmatrix}-7 & -9\\ 4 & -1\end{bmatrix}$

$C=\begin{bmatrix}-42 & -20\\ 5 & 4\end{bmatrix}$

AX + B = C

AX = C - B

C - B = $\begin{bmatrix}-42 & -20\\ 5 & 4\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}-7 & -9\\ 4 & -1\end{bmatrix}$ = $\begin{bmatrix}-42+7 & -20+9\\ 5-4 & 4+1\end{bmatrix}$

C - B = $\begin{bmatrix}-35 & -11\\ 1 & 5\end{bmatrix}$

Let $X=\begin{bmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{bmatrix}$

AX = $\begin{bmatrix}-3 & -4\\ 1 & 0\end{bmatrix}\times \begin{bmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{bmatrix}$

= $\begin{bmatrix}(-3a-4c) & (-3b-4d)\\ a & b\end{bmatrix}$

Since AX = C - B

$\begin{bmatrix}(-3a-4c) & (-3b-4d)\\ a & b\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-35 & -11\\ 1 & 5\end{bmatrix}$

Therefore, a = 1, b = 5

(-3a - 4c) = -35

3(1) + 4c = 35

3 + 4c = 35

4c = 32

c = 8

And (-3b - 4d) = -11

3(5) + 4d = 11

4d = -4

d = -1

Therefore, Option (2). X = $\begin{bmatrix}1 & 5\\ 8 & -1\end{bmatrix}$ will be the answer.
