Solve x2+4x=1 by Completing the square

Mathematics

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.

The formula
Tasya [4]

Answer

the answer is P=7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

P=14.7e           -0.21x

X=14.7e      (-0.63)

take the natrual log of both sides

1n(P)=1n(14.7e(-.63)

1n(P)=1n(14.7)-.63

(because ln(e^a) = a)

1n(P)=2.688 - .63

1n(P)=2.058

P=e       2.058

P=7.8
