Solve x 2 - 4x - 7 = 0 by completing the square. What are the solutions?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bingel [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 2±sqrt(11)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -4x - 7 =0

Add 7 to each side

x^2 -4x -7+7 =0+7

x^2 -4x =7

To complete the square take the coefficient of the x term and  divide by 2 and then square it.  Add it to both sides

-4 /2 = -2 then square

(-2)^2 = 4

Add 4 to both sides

x^2 -4x+4 =7+4

x^2 -4x+4 = 11

Factor the left side into (x-b/2)^2

(x-2)^2 =11

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-2)^2) =±sqrt(11)

x-2 = ±sqrt(11)

Add to to each side

x-2+2 = 2±sqrt(11)

x = 2±sqrt(11)

belka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Set-builder notation is a notation for describing a set by indicating the properties that its members must satisfy.

C={2,4,6,8}

C={2×1,2×2,2×3,2×4}

thus set builder form is:

A $50.00 pair of shoes is discounted 20%. If sales tax is 8%, what is the amount of tax paid?
sleet_krkn [62]
Since sales tax goes after the discount, it would be 3 dollars and 20 cents. Taking 50 dollars and 20% is discounted (50*.2), which would be 10 dollars taken off. It would be 40 dollars shoes and then you apply sales tax by multiplying 40 by .08, giving you the amount of tax paid.

Answer:

the triangle above is an isoceles triangle

therefore the base angles are equal

So we have:

2x = 180-38

2x = 142

X = 71°
