X^(2)-4x-17=0 Please show work step by step

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dimas [21]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems here that they are asking us to solve for x

to do this we first need to factor

Since we can't factor this using the normal method we can instead do this

x^2 -4x-17=0

add 4 to both sides as it is a perfect square

x^2 - 4x + 4  = 17 +4

(x-2)^2 = sqrt 21

x-2 = ±  4.58

x -2 = 4.58    x-2 = -4.58

x= 6.58          x=-2.58

Or just say x=2+√21 or x=2−√21

Which of the following is the graph of 2x+3y=6
Bond [772]

Taking point (0,-2) of graph one and replacing in the equation;

2x+3y=6

2(0)+3(-2)=6

-6=6

So graph isn't the required graph.

Taking point (0,2) of graph 2;

2x+3y=6

2(0)+3(2)=6

6=6

So, graph 2 is the required graph.
