I believe it's 12 because 5*16=80. So, then you would subtract 4 from 16 and gat 12.
Let's first write the equation given
x²+6x-13=0
They have told us to use "Completing the square" method.
So we need write x²+6x-13 as a whole square.
x²+6x-13=0
x²+(2*3*x)-9-4 = 0
x²+(2*3*x)-3²=4
Now we can write the LHS as:
(x - 3)²=2²
Hence,
x-3 can either be 2 or -2
Now,
x - 3=2
x=5
Or,
x - 3=-2
x=1
Therefore now we know that x can either be 1 or 5. So the correct answer is Option B.
0.12 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.10
You need to factor the numerator and denominator...
(2x^2+4x-2x-4)/(2x^2-2x-2x+2)
(2x(x+2)-2(x+2))/(2x(x-1)-2(x-1))
((2x-2)(x+2))/((2x-2)(x-1)) so the (2x-2)s cancel out leaving
(x+2)/(x-1)
