Complete the square x^2-10=16​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]3 years ago

Answer:

(x - 5)² = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the completing square form

- the form x² ± bx + c is a completing square if it can be put in the form

 (x ± h)² , where b = 2h and c = h²

# The completing square is x² ± bx + c = (x ± h)²

# Remember c must be positive because it is = h²

* Lets use this form to solve the problem

∵ x² - 10x = 16

- Lets equate 2h by -10

∵ 2h = -10 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ h = -5

∴ h² = (-5)² = 25

∵ c = h²

∴ c = 25

- The completing square is x² - 10x + 25

∵ The equation is x² - 10x = 16

- We will add 25 and subtract 25 to the equation to make the

 completing square without change the terms of the equation

∴ x² - 10x + 25 - 25 = 16

∴ (x² - 10x + 25) - 25 = 16 ⇒ add 25 to both sides

∴ (x² - 10x + 25) = 41

* Use the rule of the completing square above

- Let (x² - 10x + 25) = (x - 5)²

∴ (x - 5)² = 41

Pls help giving brbrainlyist

The fourth choice. For example, (x+2)(x-2)>0 we'll get x>2 or x<-2 because whenever you substitute x>2 for example x = 3, the value will be higher than 0 itself.

If we substitute x = 3 (for x>2)

We'll get (3+2)(3-2)>0

5(1)>0

5>0 The statement is true.

If we substitute x = -3 (for x<-2)

We'll get (-3+2)(-3-2)>0

-1(-5)>0

5>0 The statement is true.

We don't say x>2 AND x<-2, In math, we only say x>2 OR x<-2

Find the slope of the line that contains the<br><br>point (4, −9) and has a y intercept of 2.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

<h2>         m = -¹¹/₄</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line with slope of <em>m</em> and y-intercept of <em>b</em> is: y = mx + b

b = 2 and line contains the point (4, -9), so:

-9 = m×4 + 2          {subtract 2 from both sides}

-11 = 4m                   {divide booth sides by 4

m = -¹¹/₄
