Question

Solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )

x² + 4x = 7

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4

(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 2 = ± $\sqrt11}$ ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2 ± $\sqrt{11}$

Thus

x = - 2 - $\sqrt{11}$ ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

x = - 2 + $\sqrt{11}$ ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
