Solve x2+4x=1 by Completing the square

Mathematics
1 answer:
Viefleur [7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  x = -2 ±√5

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to complete the square by adding the square of half the coefficient of the linear term:

  x^2 + 4x + (4/2)^2 = 1 + (4/2)^2

  (x +2)^2 = 5 . . . . . simplify

  x +2 = ±√5 . . . . . . take the square root

  x = -2 ±√5 . . . . . . subtract 2. This is the solution.

__

For the problem in the picture, replace x with p in the above.

A minor league hockey team had the following scores for the start of the season for the start of the season 3,6,2,1,2,3,0,4,5,1,
PolarNik [594]

ANSWER

The mean will be the most affected.

EXPLANATION

Given;

3,6,2,1,2,3,0,4,5,1,5,4

Initially, the mean, median and mode is calculated thus;

\begin{gathered} mean=\frac{3+6+2+1+2+3+0+4+5+1+5+4}{12} \\ =\frac{36}{12} \\ =3 \\ mode=1,2,3,5 \end{gathered}

To calculate the median, we need to re-arrange in ascending order. Hence;

\begin{gathered} 0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6. \\ median=\frac{(3+3)}{2} \\ =\frac{6}{2}=3 \end{gathered}

After adding 9;

The new data is;

0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,9

The new mean is;

\begin{gathered} mean=\frac{3+6+2+1+2+3+0+4+5+1+5+4+9}{13} \\ =3.46 \\ Mode=3 \\ median=3 \end{gathered}

The mean will be the most affected.

Which of the following is equal to 393,500? 0.3935 × 10 -6 39.35 × 10 -4 3.935 × 10 -5 3.935 × 10 5
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

No answer is equal to 393,500

Step-by-step explanation:

You can try to solve each question.

0.3935 × 10 -6 = -2.065

39.35 × 10 -4 = 389.5

3.935 × 10 -5 = 34.35

3.935 × 10 +5 = 44.35

None of these equal to 393,500

(Maybe I am getting things wrong I am not in a smart mood today)
