Solve 2x2 + 12x − 14 = 0 by completing the square.

Mathematics

Elenna [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

the solutions are 1 and -7

Step-by-step explanation:

first add 14 to both sides

2x²+12x=14

2(x²+6x)=14 now find half of 6x and square it, then add it to both sides

2(x²+6x+9)=14+18(9 was multiplied by 2)

no factor

2(x+3)²=32 divide both sides by 2

(x+3)²=16 square root both sides

x+3=+/- 4 subtract 3

x= 4-3=1

x= -4-3=-7

rancher wants to fence in an area of 2000000 square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence down the
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

  • 7000ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let's break down 2,000,000 into its multiples,

Multiples of 2,000,000= 2⁷ × 5⁶

Using above values to find different combinations of length(l) and breadth (b) of rectangle and corresponding parameter of rectangle

  • l=5,   b=400,000  ,parameter= 2(5) + 2(400,000)= 800,010, total length of fence required= parameter+ side with shortest length= 800,015
  • l=2   b=1,000,000 parameter= 2,000,004, shortest fence required= 2,000,008
  • l=4,  b= 500,000 parameter= 1,000,008, shortest fence required= 1,000,012
  • From above, we can see a trend that the parameter of rectangle decreases if length and breadth are increased provided that area is constant. So, a rectangle will have shortest parameter if all of its sides are equal.
  • length of side of rectangle with shortest possible parameter= 2^3 ×5^3= 1000 and breadth of side of rectangle with shortest possible parameter= 2^4× 5^3=2000
  • Shortest possible length of fence= 2(2000)+2(1000)+1000=7000ft
