Hello!
To solve this, first perform the opposite operation for the last operation (on the left side) on both sides. The last operation of the left side is squaring. Therefore, square root both sides.
Please note that you must include ±. This is because the square root of 64 can be either positive or negative, as a square of either a positive or negative number is positive.
Now, add 9 to both sides.
There are 2 solutions from here. One comes from adding 8, and the other subtracting 8. Therefore, the two solutions are:
y = 9 + 8 = 17
y = 9 - 8 = 1
Therefore, your two solutions are 17 and 1.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
1. (x - 3)² = 8
2. (x + 2)² = 3
3. (x + 6)² =
4. (x + 3)² = 27
5. (x + 4)² = 13
6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Completion of Square:
In the following problems the terms in the RHS of the above equation may be missing. We balance the equation. Simplify it and re write it in terms of LHS.
1. x² - 6x + 1 = 0
Taking the constant term to the other side, we get:
x² - 6x = - 1
⇒ x² - 2(3)x = -1
⇒ x² -2(3)x + 9 = - 1 + 9 [Adding 9 to both the sides]
⇒ x² -2(3)x + 3² = 8
⇒ (x - 3)² = 8 is the answer.
2. 3x² + 12x + 3 = 0
Note that the co-effecient of x² is not 1. We make it 1, by dividing the whole equation by 3. And then proceed like the previous problem.
3x² + 12x = -3
Dividing by 3 through out, x² + 4x = - 1
⇒ x² + 2(2) + 4 = -1 + 4
⇒ x² +2(2) + 2² = 3
⇒ (x + 2)² = 3 is the answer.
3. 2x² + 24x = 29
x² + 12x =
⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 36 = + 36
⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 6² =
⇒ (x + 6)² = is the answer.
4. x² + 6x - 18 = 0
x² + 6x = 18
⇒ x² + 2(3)x = 18
⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 18 + 9
⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 3² = 27
⇒ (x + 3)² = 27 is the answer.
5. x² + 8x + 3 = 0
x² + 8x = -3
⇒ x² + 2(4)x = -3
⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 3 + 16
⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = 13
⇒ (x + 4)² = 13 is the answer.
6. 9x² - 30x + 6 = 0
9x² - 30x = - 6
⇒ x² x = - 6
is the answer.
