Since y varies inversely to x
xy = k
so 5*-2 = -10

plug x and k into xy = k

-10 = 3y
divide both sides with 3
y = -10/3  or -3.3333

Y varies inversly as x means
y=k/x

k is constantt
find k

so
5=k/-2
times -2 both sides
-10=k

y=-10/x

when x=3

y=-10/3

Solve x²+5x+6=0 by completing the square​
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

x = -2

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x 2+5x+6=0

To solve the equation, factor x^2+5x+6 using formula x^2+(a+b)x+ab=(x+a)(x+b). To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

a+b=5

ab=6

Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 6.

1,6

2,3

Calculate the sum for each pair.

1+6=7

2+3=5

The solution is the pair that gives sum 5.

a=2

b=3

Rewrite factored expression (x+a)(x+b) using the obtained values.

(x+2)(x+3)

To find equation solutions, solve x+2=0 and x+3=0.

x=−2

x=−3
