Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
Let's make one side equal to 0.
Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic, , think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
- 2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2 = -2.5 - x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
I will begin with part two, first.
The equation of a circle in standard form is
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius.
Given
x² - 18x + y² - 10y = - 6
Using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x/ y terms )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 9)x + 81 + y² + 2(- 5)y + 25 = - 6 + 81 + 25, that is
(x - 9)² + (y - 5)² = 100 ← in standard form
with centre = (9, 5 ) and r = = 10
