Answer: x= -1 <u>+</u> √(21/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation can be written as 5x^2+10x-16=0

keep the x terms on one side and constant on another side

5x^2+ 10x = 16.

Now, to make a complete square like (x+a)^2 = x^2+2xa+a^2.

Divide the given equation by 5 on both sides,

The equation now becomes x^2+2x = 16/5.

The middle term is 2xa=2x

By solving for term "a" in above equation, a= 1

The entire equation of complete square should be x^2+2x+1, which is equal to (x+1)^2

Here, in the equation given in question, +1 is missing to make a complete square.

In order to add 1 we have to simultaneously minus 1 to keep the values in the equation unchanged.

Thus, x^2+2x+1-1 =16/5.

Again moving the constant -1 to other side, we have

x^2+2x+1 =16/5+1

After simplification,

(x+1)^2= 21/5

Taking square root on both sides,

(x+1)= <u>+</u> √(21/5)

The answer is x= -1 <u>+</u> √(21/5)

I don't know how to do this. Can someone explain how to please?​

Answer:

f(5) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You look on the x-axis for 5 because f(5) means let x = 5. Then go down to the graph (the red zig-zaggy line) At the red line (you're still directly under the 5) look over to the y-axis to find the value. That's your answer. It is -2. The point (5, -2) is on the red graph.

f(5) = -2

What is the radius of the circle with this equation of (x-5)2+(y+7)2=8
AysviL [449]

Answer:

2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

compare this equation with the standard equation of a circle centered at (h, k) with radius r:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

(x - 5)^2 + (y + 7)^2=8

Clearly, r^2 = (radius)^2 = 8, and so the radius, r, is √8, or 2√2
