Question

_9) What are the solutions of the equation (x – 3)2 + 2(x – 3) - 8 = 0?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers r and s sum up to \frac{1}{2} exactly when the average of the two numbers is \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}. You can also see that the midpoint of r and s corresponds to the axis of symmetry of the parabola represented by the quadratic equation y=x^2+Bx+C.
