Question

Match each equation with its solution set. Tiles a2 − 9a + 14 = 0 a2 + 9a + 14 = 0 a2 + 3a − 10 = 0 a2 + 5a − 14 = 0 a2 − 5a − 14 = 0 Pairs {-2, 7} {2, -7} {-2, -7} {7, 2}

Answer 1

Answer:

{-2,7} -> a^2-5a-14=0

{2,-7} -> a^2+9a+14=0

{-2,-7} -> a^2+5a-14=0

{7,2} -> a^2-9a+14=0

I did the math so these should all be correct :)

Answer 2

We have that

N 1)
a² − 9a + 14 = 0 

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² − 9a)=-14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² − 9a+20.25)=-14+20.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a-4.5)²=6.25--------> (a-4.5)=(+/-)√6.25

a1=4.5+√6.25-----> a1=7

a2=4.5-√6.25-----> a2=2

the solution problem N 1 is the pair {7, 2}

N 2) 

a² + 9a + 14 = 0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² + 9a)=-14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² +9a+20.25)=-14+20.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a+4.5)²=6.25--------> (a+4.5)=(+/-)√6.25

a1=-4.5+√6.25-----> a1=-2

a2=-4.5-√6.25-----> a2=-7

the solution problem N 2 is the pair {-2,-7}

N 3) 

a² + 3a − 10 = 0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² + 3a)=10

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² + 3a+2.25)=10+2.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a+1.5)²=12.25------> (a+1.5)=(+/-)√12.25

a1=-1.5+√12.25-----> a1=2

a2=-1.5-√12.25-----> a2=-5

the solution problem N 3 is the pair {2, -5}

N 4)

a² + 5a − 14 = 0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² + 5a) =14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² + 5a+6.25) =14+6.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a+2.5)² =20.25-------> (a+2.5)=(+/-)√20.25

a1=-2.5+√20.25-----> a1=2

a2=-2.5-√20.25-----> a2=-7

the solution problem N 4 is the pair {2, -7}

N 5) 

a² − 5a − 14 = 0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² − 5a)=14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² − 5a+6.25)=14+6.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a-2.5)²=2025--------> (a-2.5)=(+/-)√20.25

a1=2.5+√20.25-----> a1=7

a2=2.5-√20.25-----> a2=-2

the solution problem N 5 is the pair {7, -2}
