Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. x^2 - 10x + 18 = 0

Okay so basically, you subtract 18 on both sides since the 18 doesn't work, making the equation 
<span>x</span>²<span> - 10x = -18
So then you add (b/2)</span>²<span>, which is 25, to both sides, to get 
</span><span>x</span>²<span> - 10x + 25 = 7
</span><span>After this, you factor.
</span><span>(x-5)(x-5) = 7
</span><span>Then you simplify.
(x-5)</span>²<span> = 7
Then you solve for x.
</span>√(<span>x-5)</span>²<span> = </span>√7
x-5 = (+ or -)√7

~ x= 5 (+ or -)√7 ~

Hope this helps!

Please help me answer one of these!

This seems to be referring to a particular construction of the perpendicular bisector of a segment which is not shown. Typically we set our compass needle on one endpoint of the segment and compass pencil on the other and draw the circle, and then swap endpoints and draw the other circle, then the line through the intersections of the circles is the perpendicular bisector.


There aren't any parallel lines involved in the above described construction, so I'll skip the first one.


2. Why do the circles have to be congruent ...


The perpendicular bisector is the set of points equidistant from the two endpoints of the segment. Constructing two circles of the same radius, centered on each endpoint, guarantees that the places they meet will be the same distance from both endpoints. If the radii were different the meets wouldn't be equidistant from the endpoints so wouldn't be on the perpendicular bisector.


3. ... circles of different sizes ...


[We just answered that. Let's do it again.]


Let's say we have a circle centered on each endpoint with different radii. Any point where the two circles meet will then be a different distance from one endpoint of the segment than from the other. Since the perpendicular bisector is the points that are the same distance from each endpoint, the intersection of circles with different radii isn't on it.


4. ... construct the perpendicular bisector ... a different way?


Maybe what I first described is different; there are no parallel lines.

Find an equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions. through (−5, −7); perpendicular to the line passing through (−
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The equation would be y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we first need to find the slope of the line between (-2, 5) and (2, 3). In order to do this, we use the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (3 - 5)/(2 - -2)

m = -2/4

m = -1/2

Now that we have the original line with a slope of -1/2, we can tell a perpendicular line would have a slope of 2. This is because perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. Now we can use that slope and the given point in point-slope form to get the answer. Be sure to solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 7 = 2(x + 5)

y + 7 = 2x + 10

y = 2x + 3
