Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. x^2+14x+47=0. What is the form and solution?

1 answer:

4 0

To complete a square for ax²+bx+c, you first make a=1.
in this case, a is already 1
move c to the right side: x²+14x=-47
next, add (1/2 of b)² to both sides, in this case, b=14, half of 14 is 7, so x²+14x+ 7²=-47+7²
the left side is now a perfect square: (x+7)²=2
x+7=√2 or x+7=-√2
x=√2-7, or x=-2-√7

Multiply these polynomials and simplify. Enter your response in standard form (-6y + 8y4 – 5)(y2 – 11y)

Mashutka [201]

Answer: The required simplified answer in standard form is $8y^6-88y^5-6y^3+61y^2+55y.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to multiply the following polynomials and write the answer is standard form :

$M=(-6y+8y^4-5)(y^2-11y)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

To multiply the given polynomials, we need to multiply each term of one polynomial to each term of the other polynomial.

From (i), we have

$M\\\\=(-6y+8y^4-5)(y^2-11y)\\\\=y^2(-6y+8y^4-5)-11y(-6y+8y^4-5)\\\\=-6y^3+8y^6-5y^2+66y^2-88y^5+55y\\\\=8y^6-88y^5-6y^3+61y^2+55y.$

Thus, the required simplified answer in standard form is $8y^6-88y^5-6y^3+61y^2+55y.$

Two equations are given below:

Ostrovityanka [42]

A - 3b = 4 . . . . (1)
a = b - 2 . . . . . (2)
Putting (2) into (1), we have
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2b = 4 + 2 = 6
b = 6/-2 = -3
From (1), a = b - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5
Hence, solution = (-5, -3)
