Answer:

5. x = { -13/2, 13/2 }

6. x = { (-5/4)±(<em>i</em>√(23)/4) }

7. x = { 1 - √7, 1 + √7 }

8. z = { -9<em>i </em>,9<em>i </em>}

Step-by-step explanation:

Most quadratic equations can be graphed with the help of their x-intercepts. These x-intercepts, also known as zeroes or solutions, can be found by solving the quadratic equation. In a quadratic equation, when x is isolated, what x equals to is considered the solutions of the equation.

There are four main methods of solving quadratic equations: factoring, using the quadratic formula, using the square root method, and completing the square. I will try to solve each of these eqautions with one of the four methods.

5. 4x^2 - 169 = 0 (The Square Root Method)

<u>Quadratic equations have a standard form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants. The square root method can be used if b = 0. The first step of the square root method is to make ax^2 = c. We do that by adding 169 to both sides.</u>

4x^2 = 169

<u>We then divide both sides by 4 to isolate x^2.</u>

x^2 = 169/4

<u>To get x by itself we square root both sides. </u><em><u>When doing so, the c becomes ±c because both squaring a positive and negative number gets a positive result.</u></em>

x = ±√(169/4)

<u>We then use the quotient property of square roots to make solving x much easier.</u>

x = ±(√169/√4)

x = ± 13/2

x = { -13/2, 13/2 }

6. 2(x^2) + 5x = -6 (The Quadratic Formula)

<u>The quadratic formula is a derived form of the standard form of a quadratic equation:</u>

x = (-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a

<u>To use it, we first have to find the a, b, and c in this equation. To do this we must change this into equation into standard form by adding 6 on both sides.</u>

2(x^2) + 5x + 6 = 0

<u>Now we know that a = 2, b = 5, and c = 6. We will now subsitute this into the quadratic formula and solve for x.</u>

x = (-5±√(5^2-4*2*6))/2*2

x = (-5±√(25-48))/4

x = (-5±√(-23))/4

x = (-5/4)±(√(-23)/4)

<u>The square root of -1 is said to be </u><u><em>i</em></u><u>, an imaginary number. The square root of -23 is √(23)*√(-1) or </u><u><em>i</em></u><u>√(23).</u>

x = { (-5/4)±(<em>i</em>√(23)/4) }

I<u>f don't know imaginary numbers yet or still consider answers with negative square roots as not real, then just say that the equation has no real solutions. </u>

<u />

7. x^2 - 6 = 2x (Completing the Square)

<u>Some expressions can be factored so that it multiplies by itself. If we have (a+b)(a+b), it is said to be a perfect square trinomial, where it equals a^2 + 2ab + b^2. The same can be said for (a-b)(a-b), which equals a^2 - 2ab + b^2. Completing the square helps us use this idea to solve quadratic equations.</u>

<u>First, we need to get the quadratic formula into a^2 + bx = c form. So we mush add 6 and subtract 2x on both sides.</u>

x^2 - 2x = 6

<u>Now, in order to make a perfect square trinomial, we consider the b constant. We must add (b/2)^2 to both sides to make sure that we can have this. Only simplify the inside of the parantheses for the first (b/2)^2.</u>

x^2 - 2x + (2/2)^2 = 6 + (2/2)^2

x^2 -2x + (1)^2 = 7

<u>Now that we have a^2 - 2ab + b^2, we can change that to (a-b)^2.</u>

(x-1)^2 = 7

<u>Now look at this! It went from a completing the square problem to a square root method problem. Since we know how to solve this kind of problem, let's do it.</u>

x-1 = ± √7

x = 1 ± √7

x = { 1 - √7, 1 + √7 }

8. z^2 + 81 = 0 (The Square Root Method)

z^2 = -81

z = ±√-81

z = ±(√81*√-1)

z = ±9<em>i</em>

z = { -9<em>i </em>,9<em>i </em>}

<em />

<u>Sadly, there's no example of the factoring method, so I'll make one myself.</u>

BONUS. z^2 - 81 = 0 (Factoring)

<u>First, we make the equation into the form of (x+?)(x+?) = 0.</u>

(x+?)(x+?) = 0.

<u>In the FOIL method, (x+a)(x+b) = x^2 + x(a+b) + ab. What this means is that these two unknown factors add and multiply together to get the b and c constants of the quadratic equation respectively. So, on in the case of b equaling 0 and c equaling -81, we have to ask ourselves this: What two numbers multiply to get -81 and add to get 0? </u>

<u>First, consider the multiplicants: -1 and 81, 1 and -81, -3 and 27, 3 and -27, -9 and 9. Out of all of these, only -9 and 9 fit. </u>

(x+9)(x-9) = 0.

<u>Separate these two into their own equations equal to 0 and solve them.</u>

x + 9 = 0 => x = -9      

x - 9 = 0 => x = 9

x = { -9, 9}

Ulleksa [173]
To solve for a number x,

3x+4x-2=15
7x-2=15
7x=17
x=2 3/7
or x=~2.43

was one of your answer choices either of the first two equations?

√37 &lt; 5 1/4 (true or false)
Alex787 [66]
OK so on the top problem, the first thing you want to do is find the √37, once you know the answer to that you can compare it to 5 1/4 then it will be much easier to see is in fact √37 less than 5 1/4 or not.

On the bottom you want to know if 15 over the square root of ten is greater than 8.38 so what you want to do is to first find the square root of ten. after you know this then you put that number under 15. then you can compare what ever 15÷√10 is to 8.83. if you need any more info let me know.
