Answer:

Here are the steps I think you probably will go through.

1. Draw a line that is longer than the segment but shorter than the width of the page.

1a. Make sure this line is at least 1/2 inch from the left hand side.

2. Use a compass to measure the length of the original segment. Never use a ruler. Rulers do not exist in pure geometry.

3. Measure out the distance on the line you just drew with the compass. One end is on the left hand edge and the other end (the pencil end) is marking the segment so it is the same length as the compass. You are done.

The key step either two or three.

Solve x2 = 12x – 15 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?

Nady [450]

For this case we have the following polynomial:
$x ^ 2 = 12x - 15
$
The first thing to do is to place the variables on the same side of the equation.
We have then:
$x ^ 2 - 12x = -15
$
We complete the square by adding the term (b / 2) ^ 2 on both sides of the equation.
We have then:
$x ^ 2 - 12x + (-12/2) ^ 2 = -15 + (-12/2) ^ 2
$
Rewriting we have:
$x ^ 2 - 12x + (-6) ^ 2 = -15 + (-6) ^ 2

x ^ 2 - 12x + 36 = -15 + 36
 
(x-6) ^ 2 = 21$
$x-6 =+/- \sqrt{21}$
Therefore, the solutions are:
$x = 6 - \sqrt{21}$
$x = 6 + \sqrt{21}$
Answer:
the solution set of the equation is:
$x = 6 - \sqrt{21}$
$x = 6 + \sqrt{21}$
