PLS HELP! solve by completing the square x²+4x=8

Mathematics
1 answer:
masya89 [10]2 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+4x=8

rearrange

x² + 4x - 8 = 0

half of 4 is 2

so

x² + 4x + 2² - 2² - 8 = 0

do x² + 4x + 2²

multiplies to give 4 adds to give 4

2+ 2

(x + 2)²

(x + 2)² - 2² - 8

(x + 2)² - 4 - 8

(x + 2)² - 12

(x + 2 + √12) (x + 2 - √12)

√12 = √4 * √3 = 2 √3

(x + 2 + 2√3) (x + 2 - 2√3)

If you add the lengths of the focal radii of an ellipse, what other value will you produce?
ss7ja [257]

Equation of an ellipse

→having center (0,0) , vertex ((\pm a ,0) and covertex (\pm b ,0) and focus (\pm c ,0) is given by:

\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2}=1

As definition of an ellipse is that locus of all the points in a plane such that it's  distance from two fixed points called focii  remains constant.

Consider two points (a,0) and (-a,0) on Horizontal axis of an ellipse:

Distance from (a,0) to (c,0) is = a-c = F_{1}

Distance from (-a,0) to (c,0) is = a + c = F_{2}

F_{1} + F_{2} = a -c + a +c

          = a + a

        = 2  a  →(Option A )
