Answer:
this answer should be -6x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1 kilometre =
100000 centimetres
( convert into cm )
formula = multiply the km value by 100000
( convert cm into km) = divide by 100000
Step-by-step explanation:
factor 4 out of the variable terms, as this helps.
but my approach is simply to define the target and then calculate "backwards".
we want to find
(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²
and now we compare with the original equation :
a²x² = 4x²
a² = 4
a = 2
2abx = 16x
2×2×bx = 16x
4b = 16
b = 4
b² = 16, but we have only 3, so we need to subtract 16-3 = 13 from the completed square.
so, our equation is
(2x + 4)² - 13 = 0
(2x + 4)² = 13
2x + 4 = sqrt(13)
2x = sqrt(13) - 4
x = sqrt(13)/2 - 2
Use the Quadratic formula,
x= -b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac)
-------------------------
2a
x= 4 +/- sqrt(16+12)
----------------------
-6
x = 4+/- sqrt(28)
---------------
-6
x = 4 +/- 2*sqrt(7)
------------------
-6
x= 2(2+/- sqrt(7))
------------------
2(-3)
x= 2+/- sqrt(7)
--------------
-3
I’m pretty sure it would be equilateral because all the sides are the same:)
