So you need to come up with a perfect square that works for the x coefficients.
like.. (2x + 2)^2
(2x+2)(2x+2) = 4x^2 + 8x + 4
Compare this to the equation given. Our perfect square has +4 instead of +23. The difference is: 23 - 4 = 19
I'm going to assume the given equation equals zero..
So, If we add subtract 19 from both sides of the equation we get the perfect square.
4x^2 + 8x + 23 - 19 = 0 - 19
4x^2 + 8x + 4 = - 19
complete the square and move 19 over..
(2x+2)^2 + 19 = 0
factor the 2 out becomes 2^2 = 4
ANSWER: 4(x+1)^2 + 19 = 0
for a short cut, the standard equation
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 becomes a(x - h)^2 + k = 0
Where "a, b, c" are the same and ..
h = -b/(2a)
k = c - b^2/(4a)
Vertex = (h, k)
this will be a minimum point when "a" is positive upward facing parabola and a maximum point when "a" is negative downward facing parabola.
Answer:
x = √2 + 2, -√2 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2(x-2)² + 4
-2(x-2)² + 4 = 0 --- replace y with 0
-2(x - 2)² = -4 --- subtract 4 from both sides
(x - 2)² =
--- divide both sides by -2
(x - 2)² = 2 --- simplify
x - 2 = +-√2 --- square root both sides
x - 2 = √2 --- split into 2 equations
x - 2 = -√2
x = √2 + 2 --- solve first equation
x = -√2 + 2 --- solve second equation
x = √2 + 2, -√2 + 2
