To solve using completing square method we proceed as follows:
x^2-10x+8=0
x^2-10x=-8
but
c=(b/2)^2
c=(10/2)^2=25
thus we can add this in our expression to get
x^2-10x+25=8+25
factorizing the LHS we get:
(x-5)(x-5)=33
(x-5)^2=33
getting the square roots of both sides we have:
x-5=+/-√33
x=5+/-√33
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 2)^3 + 13 = -112
Subtract 13 from both sides
(x - 2)^3 = -125
Take the cube root of both sides
x - 2 = -5
Add 2 to both sides
x = -3
- 8 + 6 = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 = [-8] + 6
