Find the error, Rashid and Tia solve the quadratic equation (2x2-8x +10=0) by completing the square. Who is correct? Explain you
r reasoning.
Rashid
2x^2−8x+10=0
2x^2−8x=−10
2x^x−8x+16=−10+16
(x−4)2=6
x−4=±6–√
x=4±6–√
Tia
2x^2−8x+10=0
x^2−4x=0−5
x^2−4x+4=−5+4
(x−2)2=−1
x−2=±i
x=2±i
1 answer:
To solve a quadratic equation using completing the square method,
STEP 1
Divide through by the coefitient of the squared term.
Looking at the solutions of Rashid and Tia, we notice that Rashid did not divide through by the coefficient of
.
Therefore, Rashids solution is wrong.
We solve the equation using completeing the square as follows:

Answer:
64 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
10 ft · 10 ft
100 ft²
6 · 6 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ft² + 18 ft² = 36 ft²
100 ft² - 36 ft²
64 ft²
