completing the square
Mathematics

Brrunno [24]3 years ago

Answer:

<h3>x = 3/2 ± √(61/20)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 15x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides.

5x² - 15x = 4

The coefficient of 5x² is 5, divide both sides by 5.

x² - 3x = 4/5

The coefficient of -3x is -3. Let b=-3.

Then we need to add (b/2)^2=9/4 to both sides to complete the square.

Add 9/4 to both sides.

x² - 3x + 9/4 = 61/20

Factor left side.

(x-3/2)² = 61/20

Take square root of both sides.

x-3/2 = ± √(61/20)

Add 3/2 to both sides.

x = 3/2 ± √(61/20)

Choose the correct equation type for each system.
NemiM [27]
Consistent means 1 solution
inconsistent means no solutions....because they are parallel lines
equivalent means infinite solutions...because they are the same line

y = 3x - 2             3x - y = 4
                            -y = -3x + 4
                             y = 3x - 4

both equations have the same slope but different y intercepts....this means they are parallel lines and have no solutions ....INCONSISTENT
=======================
1/2y = -x + 5                  2y = -4x + 20   
y = -2x + 10                     y = -2x + 10

same equation.....same line...infinite solutions...EQUIVALENT
===================
y = -x + 4               x = -y - 6
                              y = -x - 6

same slope, different y intercepts....parallel lines......no solutions...this means INCONSISTENT
==================
y = 4x + 2                y = 6x - 10
different slopes, different y intercepts...one solution...CONSISTENT
==================
y = 2x + 1               y = -2x + 3
different slopes, different y intercepts...one solution...CONSISTENT
=================
-2x + 5y = 0              y = 2/5x
5y = 2x
y = 2/5x
same line....infinite solutions....EQUIVALENT
