Solve by completing the square.

Mathematics
1 answer:
enot [183]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x^2 -8x -5 = -3

x^2 -8x -2 = 0

We complete the square by:

1) Moving the "non X" term to the right:

x^2 -8x  = 2

2) Dividing the equation by the coefficient of X²

The coefficient of x is 1 so we don't do anything

3) Now here's the "completing the square" stage in which we:

      • take the coefficient of X

that is -8

     • divide it by 2

-8 ÷ 2 = -4

     • square that number

-4*-4 = 16

     • then add it to both sides of the  equation.

x^2 -8x +16 = 2 +16

That becomes

(x -4)^2 = 18

we take the square root of both sides:

(x -4) = sqr root (18)

x1 = sqr root (18) +4

AND

(x+4) = sqr root (18) -4

x1 =  sqr root (18) +4 = 4.2426406871  + 4 = 8.2426406871

x2 = sqr root (18) -4 =  = 4.2426406871  - 4 = .2426406871

In ΔRST, ∠R = 85° and ∠S = 52°. Find ∠T.
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

43°

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has a total angle of 180° and we can use it to find the answer.

The attachment is a visualization of the triangle.

In order to find angle T, we can use the triangle formula to find t.

{180}^{o} = r + s + t

By substituting r and s, we will get

{180}^{o}  =  {85}^{o}  +  {52}^{o}  + t

Hence, we can find T, which is

t =  {180}^{o}  -  {85}^{o}  -  {52}^{o}  =  {43}^{o}
