Complete the square x squared +18x-64=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anestetic [448]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -9±√145 (= 3.04 or -21.04)

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+18x-64 = 0   (move the constant to the right side, add 64 to both sides)

x²+18x = 64   (divide the x-term by 2, square it, then add it to both sides)

x²+18x + (18/2)²= 64 + (18/2)²     (simplify)

x²+18x + 9²= 64 + 9²

x²+18x + 9²= 64 + 81

x²+18x + 9²= 145  (simplify left side using the property (a+b)² = a²+ 2ab+b²)

(x+9)² = 145   (take square root of both sides)

x+9 = ±√145

x = -9±√145 (= 3.04 or -21.04)

Which side lengths form a right triangle 30 POINTS!! I DONT HAVE MUCH TIME
Virty [35]

Answer:

To solve this problem, we can use Pythagorean theorem, it tells us that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

When we look at these side lengths, we can see that only the second answer is suitable because from the lengths, we can predict that 13 is the length of the hypotenuse, 5 is the length of the shorter leg and 12 is the length of the other leg, and when you actually calculate it, the result is correct as well:

5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169

13² = 169

So the answer is B

Expand and simplify 5(x-1)-3(x+4)
ludmilkaskok [199]
Question:

Expand and simplify 5(x - 1) - 3(x + 4)

Answer:

1.) Use the distributive property to solve this equation:

5(x - 1) = 5x - 5

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

2.) Put it in the equation:

5x - 5 - 3x + 12

3.) Group them:

5x - 3x - 5 + 12

4.) Simplify:

2x - 7
which is the answer.



Hope this helped! :))
