Step-by-step explanation:
First write out the equation
x² - x - 20
Now we now write the equation by equating to 0
x² - x - 20 = 0
We now move 20 to the other side of the equation. So
x² - x = 20,
We now add to both side of the equation square of the half the coefficient of the (x) and not (x²) which is (1) . So, the equation now becomes
x² - x + ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ( ¹/₂ )²
x² - ( ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ¹/₄
( x - ¹/₂ )² = 20 + ¹/₄, we now resolve the right hand side expression into fraction
( x - ¹/₂ )² = ⁸¹/₄ when the LCM is made 4
Taking the square root of both side to remove the square,we now have
x - ¹/₂ = √⁸¹/₄
x - ¹/₂ = √⁸¹/₂
Therefore,
x = ¹/₂ ± √⁸¹

Hello:<span>
the equation is : y = ax+b
the slope is a : a×(1/2) = -1......( perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/2) because : -2x+4y =8...y=(1/2)x+2 ) </span>
<span>
a = -2 y=(-2x+b
the line that passes through (2,1) :1 = -2(2)+b
b =5
<span> the equation is : y = -2x+5</span></span>
