I need to do this problem by completing the square . help please
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

the roots are n = 1 + √15 and n = 1 - √15

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case I would immediately rewrite n² - 2n - 5 = 10 as

n² - 2n                  = 10 + 5 = 15.

To complete the square:  Identify the coefficient of n (it is -2). Halve that, obtaining -1, square this result, and then add the outcome (1) to and subtract the outcome (1) to n² - 2n:

n² - 2n  <em>+ 1 - 1   </em>             = 15

Next, rewrite n² - 2n  + 1 as the square of a binomial:

(n - 1)² = 15

Finally, take the square root of both sides:

n - 1 = ±√15

so that the roots are n = 1 + √15 and n = 1 - √15

1. ) 1 thru 9 are both natural numbers and whole numbers. 0 is a whole number, but not a natural number.

2.) 6...it is a natural number because it is a counting number and it is whole, it is a whole number and it is an integer as well. It is also rational because it can be turned into a fraction 6/1.

3.) -2 is a rational number because it can be turned into a fraction -2/1, but it is not a whole number because it contains a negative.

4.) That number would be 0

Put in a equality

20 > (70/x)

then you solve 

20x > 70

x>70/20

x> 3.5    you can not put part of a chair in a row so you round up

****You can put  4 or more chairs in a row****
