Not sure why it needs to be a fraction, if I am missing something please tell me. 64 or 64/1
Answer:
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentation:
x^2 - 10x = -8
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8
x^2 - 10x - 25 = -33
Begin with x^2 - 10x = -8. Here's the process for completing the square:
1. Take half of the coefficient of x and square the result:
(1/2)(-10) = -5, and then (-5)^2 = + 25
2. Add this 25 to the first two terms of x^2 - 10x = -8 and also to the constant -8: x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8 + 25, or x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
3. Match this result to one of the given possible answers. Turns out that the given possible answer matching our result is the first one:
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
Ok so maybe add or subtract the numbers and see what u get :) I calculated it
A. 2x^2 - 3x + 10 = 2x + 21
2x^2 - 3x - 2x + 10 - 21 = 0
2x^2 - 5x - 11 = 0 (quadratic equation)
2x^2 - 6x - 7 = 2x^2
2x^2 - 2x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
-6x - 7 = 0 (not a quadratic equation)
5x^2 + 2x - 4 = 2x^2
5x^2 - 2x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0
3x^2 + 2x - 4 (quadratic equation)
5x^3 - 3x + 10 = 2x^2
5x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x + 10 = 0 (not a quadratic equation)
Therefore, options a and c can be solved using the quadratic formula.
Answer:
If b is 3, x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(3x-5)=16
use distributive property
-6x+10=16
take 10 away from both sides
-6x=6
divide both sides by -6
x=-1
