Example Question #502 : High School: Algebra

 

 Solve the following by completing the square. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The first step is to add  to both sides.

Now we take the coefficient in front of the  term, divide it by , square it and add it to each side.

Now we factor the left hand side, and add up the right hand side.

Now we take the square root of each side.

Now we subtract  from each side.

Since we are taking the square root, we need to set up  equations to solve for .

 

Example Question #52 : Reasoning With Equations & Inequalities

Solve 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We can solve this by using the quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is

, , and  correspond to coefficients in the quadratic equation, which is

In this case , and  .

Since the number inside the square root is negative, we will have an imaginary answer.

We will put an , outside the square root sign, and then do normal operations.

Now we split this up into two equations.

So our solutions are   and
