Solve the equation 0 = x^2 + 4x − 6 for exact values.

Answer:

x = -2 ± √10

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x − 6 = 0

Method I - Solve by completing the square

Add 6 to both sides

x^2 + 4x = 6

use half the x coefficient (4/2 = 2) as the complete the square term.

(x + 2)² = 6 + 2²

(x + 2)² = 10

Take the square root of both sides

x + 2 = ±√10

subtract 2 from both sides

x = -2 ± √10

----------------------

M ethod II - Quadratic equation

x = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac) ]  /  (2a)

x = [ -4 ± √ (4² - 4(1)(-6)) ] / 2

x = [ -4 ± √ (16 + 24) ] / 2

x = [ -4 ± √40 ] / 2

x = [ -4 ± √(4 * 10) ] / 2

x = [ -4 ± 2√10 ] / 2

x = -2 ± √10

In order to solve the system of linear equations, the coefficients of one of the variables must be the same number but opposite
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number  so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.

it does not matter which variable you choose.

lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.

so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.

2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6

(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)

4x+6y=12

now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6

-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)

-15x-6y=-12

now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out

4x+6y=12

-15x-6y=-12

-11x=0

x=0

now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.

2(0)+3y=6

3y=6

y=2

so your answer is x=0, y=2

Fill in the missing number to complete the factorization:
IrinaVladis [17]
The last terms must multiply to the last terms (confusing)

example

if ax^3+bx^2+c+d=(ex+f)(gx+h)(jx+k) then
d=fhk


so


70 is last term
we got 2 and 5
2*5*?=70
10*?=70
divide by 10
?=7

the missing number is 7

Margarita [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question a(n) = -5 for all real values of n.

So the 12th term in the sequence is -5.
