Solve by completing the square.

Mathematics

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

What is the solution
In-s [12.5K]
The solution that makes both equations true is 'a', or (2,0), because if you substitute the 2 with the x and the 0 with the y, and solve both equations, you get the same answer. Also, you could try a graphing software, like desmos.
0=-2(2)+4
-4+4
0=0
0=(2)-2
0=0

6 Find the equivalent ratio for 64%. Write your answer in simplest form.
Snowcat [4.5K]

solution

Find the equivalent ratio for 64%. Write your answer in simplest form.​

For this case we can do the following:

64% = 64/100

And if we simplify we got:

64/100 = 32/50 = 16/25 = 0.64
