X^2+6x-6=0 rewritten by completing the square

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
4 0

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

(x+3)^2 -15 = 0



Discussion:

To complete the square add (and then subtract) the square of one-half the coefficient of x:


x^2 + 6x -6 = 0 =>

                 -- complete the square part --

x^2 + 6x +   (6/2)^2 - (6/2)^2                    - 6 = 0 =>

x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9 - 6 = 0 =>                                               as 6/2 = 3

(x + 3)^ 2      - 9  - 6 = 0 =>                                    

(x+3)^2 -15 = 0

We can solve this as follows:

(x+3)^2 = 15                                               take square root of both sides

(x+3) = +\- sqrt(15)

x = -3 +\- sqrt(15)


Thank you,

MrB

1-sin^2x/sinx-cscx <br><br>How do I solve this problem? I keep getting the wrong answer.
Annette [7]

Answer:

-sinx

Step-by-step explanation:

a trig identity that is crucial to solving this problem is: sin^2 + cos^2 = 1

with knowing that, you can manipulate that and turn it into 1 - sin^2x = cos^x

so 1-sin^2x/sinx - cscx becomes cos^2x/sinx - cscx

it is also important to know that cscx is the same thing as 1/sinx

knowing this information, cscx can be replaced with 1/sinx

(cos^2x)/(sinx - 1/sinx)

now sinx and 1/sinx do not have the same denominator, so we need to multiply top and bottom of sinx by sinx; it becomes....

cos^2x

---------------------

(sin^2x - 1)/sinx

notice how in the denominator it has sin^2x-1 which is equal to -cos^2x

so now it becomes:

cos^2x

--------------

-cos^2x/sinx

because we have a fraction over a fraction, we need to flip it

cos^2x          sinx

---------- * ----------------

1                  -  cos^2x

because the cos^2x can cancel out, it becomes 1

now the answer is -sinx
