Answer:

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9 ← expand the left side using FOIL

x² - 8x - 48 = 9 ( ad 48 to both sides )

x² - 8x = 57

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 57 + 16

(x - 4)² = 73 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{73} ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}

Y=-1/3x^2-4x-5 in vertex form
grigory [225]

Answer:

Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7   [Vertex form]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5

We need to find the vertex form which is.,

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where (h,k) represents the co-ordinates of vertex.

We apply completing square method to do so.

We have  

Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5

First of all we make sure that the leading co-efficient is =1.

In order to make the leading co-efficient is =1, we multiply each term with -3.

-3\times Y=-3\times\frac{1}{3}x^2-(-3)\times4x-(-3)\times 5

-3Y=x^2+12x+15

Isolating x^2 and x terms on one side.

Subtracting both sides by 15.

-3Y-15=x^2+12x-15-15

-3Y-15=x^2+12x

In order to make the right side a perfect square trinomial, we will take half of the co-efficient of x term, square it and add it both sides side.  

square of half of the co-efficient of x term = (\frac{1}{2}\times 12)^2=(6)^2=36

Adding 36 to both sides.

-3Y-15+36=x^2+12x+36

-3Y+21=x^2+12x+36

Since x^2+12x+36 is a perfect square of (x+6), so, we can write as:

-3Y+21=(x+6)^2

Subtracting 21 to both sides:

-3Y+21-21=(x+6)^2-21

-3Y=(x+6)^2-21

Dividing both sides by -3.

\frac{-3Y}{-3}=\frac{(x+6)^2}{-3}-\frac{21}{-3}

Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7   [Vertex form]
