Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve an equation by completing the square in a quadratic formula

f(x)=ax²+bx+c

example :x²-6x-16=0

first rearrange if necessary, move the constant to one side .

x²-6x=16

second you find a new term to complete the square which is (b/2)², and add the term to both sides.(6/2)²=3²=9

x²-6x+9=16+9

x²-6x+9=25

third  factorize : find the common factor between 6 and 9 which is 3

x²-6x+9=25

(x-3)²=25

last solve for x: (x-3)²=25

x-3=√25

x=3±5

x=3+5=8 or 3-5=-2

2. If x=2, y=3 find<br>value of <br>x²-5y+2​
Damm [24]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the give values into the correct place in the equation.

Since x=2, y=3,

Place "2" in the x of the equation, and "3" into the y of the equation.

x²-5y+2​

= 2² - 5(3) + 2

= 4 - 15 + 2

= -9

11. Four less than a number tripled is the same number increased by ten.<br> What is the number?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we would set up an equation. let 3x-4 represent "four less than a number tripled". "a number" would be represented by x. let x+10 represent "the same number increased by 10".

set 3x-4 and x+10 equal to each other:

3x-4=x+10

next, we would solve this equation for x. first we would get the x together on one side of the equation. we would do this by subtracting x from both sides to remove it from the right side of the equation:

2x-4=10

then, we would get the 2x by itself. we would do this by adding 4 to both sides:

2x=14

finally, we would divide each side of the equation by 2 to find x:

x=7.

The number is 7.
