Show all steps when completing the square to solve 2x^2 - 4x - 5 = 25

Mathematics
1 answer:
aleksley [76]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 5, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 4x - 5 = 25

add 5 to each side

2x² - 4x = 30

factor out the 2

2(x² - 2x) = 30

divide both sides by 2

x² - 2x = 15

divide b by 2, square it -- (b/2)², and add it to both sides

-2/2 = -1 → -1² = 1

x² - 2x + 1 = 15 + 1

factor the expression on the left -- this will be [x - (b/2)]²

(x - 1)² = 16

find the square root of both sides

x - 1 = ±4

add 1 to both sides

x = 4 + 1

x = -4 + 1

solve

x = 5, -3

motikmotik

The square pyramid with a base with edges of 6 inches and slant height of 4 inches have a surface area of 84 in².

The net of the square pyramid have a base of 6 inches and the height of each triangle is 4 inches.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

The square pyramid with a base with edges of 6 inches and slant height of 4 inches. Hence:

Surface area = (6 * 6) + 2(6 * 4) = 84 in²

The net of the square pyramid have a base of 6 inches and the height of each triangle is 4 inches.

Part of the graph of the function f(x) = (x – 1)(x + 7) is shown below.Which statements about the function are true? Select thre
sertanlavr [38]

The statements about the function that are true are

  • The vertex of the function is at (–3,–16).
  • The graph is increasing on the interval x > –3.
  • The graph is positive only on the intervals where x < –7 and where x > 1.

<h3>How to interpret the graph?</h3>

The equation of the graph is given as

f(x) = (x - 1)(x + 7)

The graph of the function is added as an attachment

On the graph, we have

Vertex = (-3, -16)

This is so because the graph has a minimum point of (-3, -16)

Also, the graph crosses the x-axis at x = 1 and x = -7

This means that the graph is positive at x >1 and x >-7

Because the vertex is a minimum, the graph is increasing at the left of its symmetry i.e. x > -3
