Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a general quadratic formula given as ax²bx+c = 0
To generate the general formula to solve the quadratic equation, we can use the completing the square method as shown;
Step 1:
Bringing c to the other side
ax²+bx = -c
Dividing through by coefficient of x² which is 'a' will give:
x²+(b/a)x = -c/a
- Completing the square at the left hand side of the equation by adding the square of half the coefficient x i.e (b/2a)² and adding it to both sides of the equation we have:
x²+(b/a)x+(b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²
(x+b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²
(x+b/2a)² = -c/a + b²/4a²
- Taking the square root of both sides
√(x+b/2a)² = ±√-c/a + b²/√4a²
x+b/2a = ±√(-4ac+b²)/√4a²
x+b/2a =±√b²-4ac/2a
- Taking b/2a to the other side
x = -b/2a±√√b²-4ac/2a
Taking the LCM:
x = {-b±√b²-4ac}/2a
This gives the vertex form with how it is used to Solve a quadratic equation.
Answer:
x = pi, 3pi, 5pi etc
x = -pi, -3pi, -5pi etc
Step-by-step explanation:
cos^2 x + 2 cos x + 1 = 0
replace cos x with m
m^2 + 2m +1 = 0
solve by factoring (this is a^2 +2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2 where a =m and b=1)
(m+1)^2=0
take the square root of each side
m+1 =0
m=-1
now replace m with cos x
cos x = -1
take arccos of each side
arccos cos x = arccos (-1)
x = pi, 3pi, 5pi etc
