Solve x2+4x=1 by Completing the square

Mathematics
1 answer:
Viefleur [7K]2 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 manufacturer of bolts has a​ quality-control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 4 standard deviat
Doss [256]

Answer:

more than 15.40 cm and less than  14.60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of bolts has a quality control policy that requires it destroy any bolts that are more than 4 standard deviations from the mean.

mean length= 15 cm

standard deviation= 0.10 cm

4 standard deviation from mean= 15±(4×0.10)

therefore, bolts of length more than 15+0.4, and less than 15-0.4 will be destroyed

= 15.40 cm and 14.60 cm
