Rewrite completing the sqaure 3x^2-18x+15

1 answer:

4 0

3x^2 - 18x + 15
3x^2 - 18x = -15...divide by 3
x^2 - 6x = - 5...take half of -6, and square it...and add to both sides
x^2 - 6x + 9 = -5 + 9
x^2 - 6x + 9 = 4
(x - 3)^2 = 4
x - 3 = (+-) sqrt 4
x - 3 = (+-) 2
x = 3 (+-) 2

x = 3 + 2 = 5
x = 3 - 2 = 1

so x = 5 and x = 1

Write 5% as a decimal.

jolli1 [7]

You cannot do it that way. Make sure the question you wrote is correct, because you would divide 5 by 100, not 100 by 5. A simple way is to move the decimal point two points to the left. 5% as a decimal is 0.05.

The answer is false if the question is written this way.
