Solve this equation by completing the square: x2 + 4x – 13 = –8

marishachu [46]

Answer:

x = 1 or x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

The quadratic equation, x² + 4x - 13 = -8

We are required to solve the equation using the completing square method.

To do this, we use the following steps;

Step 1: We make sure the coefficient of x² is one

x² + 4x - 13 = -8

Step 2: Combine the like terms (take the constant term to the other side)

x² + 4x - 13 = -8

x² + 4x = -8 + 13

we get

x² + 4x = 5

Step 3: We add the square of half the coefficient of x on both sides of the equation

Coefficient of x = 4

Half of coefficient of x = 2

Square of half the coefficient of x = 2² (4)

We get;

x² + 4x + (2²) = 5 + (2²)

Step 4: Put x and 2 under one square and the solve the other side of the equation.

We get

(x + 2)² = 5 + 4

(x + 2)² = 9

Step 5: Get the square root on both sides of the equation;

(x + 2)² = 9

√(x + 2)² = ±√9

(x + 2)= ±3

Therefore;

x+2 = + 3 or x + 2 = -3

Thus, x = 1 or -5

The solution of the equation is x = 1 or x = -5

A door of a lecture hall is in a parabolic shape. The door is 56 inches across at the bottom of the door and parallel to the flo

Arada [10]

Answer:

The parabolic shape of the door is represented by $y - 32 = -\frac{2}{49}\cdot x^{2}$ . (See attachment included below). Head must 15.652 inches away from the edge of the door.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is represented by the following mathematical expression:

$y - k = C \cdot (x-h)^{2}$

Where:

$h$ - Horizontal component of the vertix, measured in inches.

$k$ - Vertical component of the vertix, measured in inches.

$C$ - Parabola constant, dimensionless. (Where vertix is an absolute maximum when $C < 0$ or an absolute minimum when $C > 0$ )

For the design of the door, the parabola must have an absolute maximum and x-intercepts must exist. The following information is required after considering symmetry:

$V (x,y) = (0, 32)$ (Vertix)

$A (x, y) = (-28, 0)$ (x-Intercept)

$B (x,y) = (28. 0)$ (x-Intercept)

The following equation are constructed from the definition of a parabola:

$0-32 = C \cdot (28 - 0)^{2}$

$-32 = 784\cdot C$

$C = -\frac{2}{49}$

The parabolic shape of the door is represented by $y - 32 = -\frac{2}{49}\cdot x^{2}$ . Now, the representation of the equation is included below as attachment.

At x = 0 inches and y = 22 inches, the distance from the edge of the door that head must observed to avoid being hit is:

$y -32 = -\frac{2}{49} \cdot x^{2}$

$x^{2} = -\frac{49}{2}\cdot (y-32)$

$x = \sqrt{-\frac{49}{2}\cdot (y-32) }$

If y = 22 inches, then x is:

$x = \sqrt{-\frac{49}{2}\cdot (22-32)}$

$x = \pm 7\sqrt{5}\,in$

$x \approx \pm 15.652\,in$

Head must 15.652 inches away from the edge of the door.
