The answers are 3.19 or -2.19.
In order to complete the square, you must first get the constant to the other side of the equation. WE do that by adding 7 to both sides.
x^2 - x - 7 = 0
x^2 - x = 7
Now we must take half of the x coefficient (-1), which would be -.5. Then we square it and add it to both sides. This is the second step to any completing the square problem.
x^2 - x = 7
x^2 - x + .25 = 7.25
Now that we have done that, the left side will be a perfect square so that, we can factor it.
x^2 - x + .25 = 7.25
(x - .5)^2 = 7.25
After having done that, we can take the square root of both sides
(x - .5)^2 = 7.25
x - .5 = +/-
Now we can take the value of that square root and solve.
x - .5 = +/-
x - .5 = +/-2.69
x = .5 +/- 2.69
And with the + and - both there, we need to do both to get the two answers.
.5 + 2.69 = 3.19
.5 - 2.69 = -2.19
Answer:
The bird will be at a ground distance of 10.04 units away.
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex of a quadratic function:
Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:
It's vertex is the point
In which
Where
If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at , and it's value is
.
Equation for the height:
The height of the bird after x seconds is given by:
Which is a quadratic equation with .
When the bird is at its highest?
Quadratic equation with , and thus, at the vertex. The ground distance is the x-value of the vertex. Thus
The bird will be at a ground distance of 10.04 units away.
