Answer:

x = 3 ± 2\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

given

x² - 6x + 1 = 0 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x² - 6x = - 1

To complete the square

add (half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² - 6x + (- 3)² = - 1 + (- 3)²

x² - 6x + 9 = - 1 + 9

(x - 3)² = 8 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± \sqrt{8} = ± 2\sqrt{2} ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 3 ± 2\sqrt{2}

Jim's backyard is a rectangle that is 15 5/6 yards long and 10 2/5 yards wide. Jim buys sod in pieces that are 1 1/3 long and 1
ser-zykov [4K]
The are of his backyard is 10.4 times 15.83 or 164.632 yd^2
the sod piecs are 1.33 by 1.33 or 1.78 yd^2
so divide 164.632 by 1.78 or
164.632/1.78=92.5 pieces of sod
if he is buying the sod in pieces, he will have to buy 93 pieces because he can't buy 1/2 sod

Solve by factoring: 2x2 - 5x - 12 = 0
Zepler [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 {x}^{2}  - 5x - 12

2 {x}^{2}   - 8x  + 3x - 12

2x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4)

2x  + 3 = 0 \:  \: x - 4 = 0

x =  \frac{ - 3}{2}  \:  \: x =4

State the equation of the following graphs.<br> Someone please help ASAP
Vaselesa [24]
Answer

y = 1(x +1) - 3

Explanation

A quadratic equation of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c

This written in complete the square form provides you with the vertex (either a maximum or minimum point depending on the equation).

This results in y = a(x + p) + q

Where - p is the x value and q is the y value of turning point.

For graph 22, x = -1 and y = -3

Therefore, the equation is of the form

y = a(x + 1) - 3 (*)

We still need the value a, this can be obtained by using the y-intercept we are given.

We are told x = 0 when y = -2

Substitute this in (*) equation:

-2 = a(0+1) - 3

-2 = a - 3

a = 1

Therefore final equation is

y = 1(x +1) - 3

This should provide you with the train of thought of how the second question should also be tackled.

If unsure about why the equation
y = a(x + p) + q gives the vertex ask in comments I will respond
