Solve the equation by completing the square. x^2-7x-4=0. Have to show steps.

1 answer:

4 0

X^2-7x-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-(7/2)^2-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-(7)^2/(2)^2-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-49/4-4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-49-4*4)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-49-16)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-65)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2-65/4=0
(x-7/2)^2-65/4+65/4=0+65/4
(x-7/2)^2=65/4
sqrt[ (x-7/2)^2 ]=+-sqrt(65/4)
x-7/2=+-sqrt(65)/sqrt(4)
x-7/2=+-sqrt(65)/2
x-7/2+7/2=+-sqrt(65)/2+7/2
x=7/2+-sqrt(65)/2
x=[7+-sqrt(65)]/2
x1=[7-sqrt(65)]/2
x2=[7+sqrt(65)]/2

Whoever can answer all of these will get brainless

Firstly, brainly allows 1 question per question. So do not try this again.

Lets make the fractions all like terms.

242/4 - 37/4=205/4. Lets now make this a mixed fraction.
By doing 205/4, we find out that 4 goes in less than 51 times.

1. 51 1/4.

2. 11/2 = 66/12.....so 66/12 - 29/12= 37/12. Make it mixed fraction: 3 1/12.

3. 36/5=72/10. 72/10 - 37/10 = 35/10. As a mixed it is 3 1/2

4. 35/3 - 17/2 can be rewritten by finding their GCM (Greatest Common Multiple). In this case it is 6.

70/6 - 51/6 = 19/6. 3 1/6.
