Answer:
x^2+5x-6
a = 1 b = 5 and c = -6
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [-5 +- sq root (25 -4 * 1 *-6) ] / 2 * 1
x = [-5 +- sq root (49)] / 2
x = [-5 +- 7] / 2
x1 = 1
x2 = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 10 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0
Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.
Subtract 20 from both sides:
x^2 - 12 x = -20
Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.
Add 36 to both sides:
x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16
Hint: | Factor the left hand side.
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 6)^2 = 16
Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4
Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides:
x = 10 or x - 6 = -4
Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides:
Answer: x = 10 or x = 2
Answer:
34.
Step-by-step explanation:
8 *6 - (4 + 10)
= 48 - 14
= 34.
