What number must you add to complete the square? x^2 + 8x = -3

1 answer:

5 0

x^2 + 8x = -3
x^2 + 8x + 16 = -3 + 16
using a^2 + 2 a b + b^2 = (a+b)^2

x^2 + 8x + 16 = 13

(x +4)^2 = 13

answer : 16 is the number you must add to complete the square

Cancel something
we cancel x's

multiply 1st equation by 5 and 2nd by 7 and add them
-35x-30y=-5
35x-28y=7 +
0x-58y=2

-58y=2
divide both sides by -58
y=-1/29
sub back
5x-4(-1/29)=1
5x+4/29=1
minus 4/29 from both sides
note, 1=29/29
5x=25/29
divide bot sides by 5 (or times 1/5)
x=5/29

(5/29,-1/29)

Prove that if AC=DF and AB=DE then BC=EF

Step2247 [10]

In triangle ABC and DEF
AC =DF, [ given ]
AB =DE, [ given ]
angle A = angle D
by SAS
ABC congruent to triangle DFE
so
BC = EF, [ CPCTC]
hence proved
