Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
x² - 8x + 15 = 0
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 15 on both sides: x² - 8x = -15
- Complete the Square [Addition Property of Equality]: x² - 8x + 16 = -15 + 16
- [Complete the Square] Simplify: (x - 4)² = 1
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: x - 4 = ±1
- [Addition Property of Equality] Add 4 on both sides: x = 4 ± 1
- Evaluate: x = 3, 5
Answer:
In order to evaluate a function, replace the input variable (the number or expression given) (place holder, x). Replace the x by the number or word.
