i dont get the question
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
It seems here that they are asking us to solve for x
to do this we first need to factor
Since we can't factor this using the normal method we can instead do this
x^2 -4x-17=0
add 4 to both sides as it is a perfect square
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 17 +4
(x-2)^2 = sqrt 21
x-2 = ± 4.58
x -2 = 4.58 x-2 = -4.58
x= 6.58 x=-2.58
Or just say x=2+√21 or x=2−√21

Answer:
x=3 and x=-1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
4x^2-7x=15
subtract 15 from each side:
4x^2-7x-15=0
factor (trying different numbers that the sum is 7 and the quotient is 15)
(2x-6 )(2x+2.5 )=0
2x-6=0 add 6 to each side
2x=6
x=3
2x+2.5=0 subtract 2.5 from each side
2x=-2.5
x=-1.25
