We need to solve for the values of x by applying the method of completing the square in the given expression x² - 10x -2 = 17. The solution is shown below:
x² - 10x -2 = 17
Transpose -2 to the right side such as:
x² - 10x = 17 + 2
Perform addition of 17 and 2
x² - 10x = 19
Add + 25 in both sides
x² - 10x + 25 = 19 + 25
x² - 10x + 25 = 44
(x-5)(x-5) = 44
Where (x-5) is a perfect square, then we have:
(x-5)² = 44
x1 = +√44 -5 = 1.6
x2 = - √44 -5 = -11.6

The answers are x1=1.6 and x2 = -11.6.

Answer:

Option A and B  (x-5)^2-44=0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that : x^2 - 10x - 2 = 17

Applying completing the square

Step 1 :  x^2 - 10x - 2 = 17 (write the equation)

Step 2:  x^2 - 10x = 17+2

Step 3: x^2 - 10x +25 =19+25 (add 25 both side)

Step 4:  (x-5)^2=44

Step 5: (x-5)^2-44=0

Square to solve the equation is A and B as both are same.

Answer:

The leading coefficient is 1 and the linear term coefficient is an even number

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading coefficient must be one for the application of completing square method. If the completing square is not one than we must apply other methods like Ac method, quadratic formula to solve the equation. To solve the equation with completing square the numerical value must be on other side of the equation. In this method we multiply linear term’s coefficient with one-half and square it therefore, completing square is suitable method for the equation having leading coefficient is 1 and linear coefficient is even.
