What are the solutions to the equation (x-1)(x+2)=-2?

Answers

Answer 1

Method used:-

Completing the square method.

Steps :-

[tex]( x - 1 ) ( x + 2 ) = - 2\\x^{2}+x-2=-2 \\x^{2}+x=-2+2 \\x^{2}+x=0[/tex]

Now, make the left hand side of the equation by adding the square of ½ to both sides of the equation.

[tex]x^{2}+x+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2} \\x^{2}+x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4} \\\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{4} \\\sqrt{\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \\[/tex]

Simplify the equation. You'll get a +ve & -ve value.

[tex]x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \\x+\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Simplify it further.

[tex]\boxed{\sf\:x=0}\\ \boxed{\sf\:x=-1 }[/tex]

The solutions are :-

x = 0 & x = -1

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation below:
1. 4x-3y=12
2. 2y=6x-12

if you can put the step please do so. Tysm.

Answers

Answer + Explanation:

1. you want to rearrange the equation ( don't change the actual value ) to put it in the form y = mx + b. in this form, m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

this is how you would do that:

4x - 3y = 12

subtract 4x from both sides

-3y = -4x + 12

divide both sides by -3

y = 4/3x - 4

this means the slope is 4/3 and the y-intercept is -4

2. do the same thing, rearranging into y = mx + b form

2y = 6x - 12

divide both sides by 2

y = 3x - 6

this means the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is -6

Use completing the square to solve for x in the equation (x+ 7)(x-9)=25,
OX= 4 or 6
O X-2 or 14
O x=1V89
O x=1 V87

Answers

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 7)(x - 9) = 25 ← expand left side using FOIL

x² - 2x - 63 = 25 ( add 63 to both sides )

x² - 2x = 88

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 1)x + 1 = 88 + 1

(x - 1)² = 89 ( take square root of both sides )

x - 1 = ± [tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex] ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 1 ± [tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex]

3x = 6                Simplify.

x = 2                  Divide by 2.

Answer:

One solution, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2 = x + 8 (Given)

4x = x + 6

(The 2 is subtracted from the right side, therefore the left side is also subtracted. 8 becomes 6.)

3x = 6

(The x is subtracted from the right side to the left side. Thus turning the 4x into 3x)

x = 2

(The 3 is divided out to get x alone. So, the 6 has to be divided by 3 as well, turning it into 2)

27 and 9 are both powers of 3, so we need to find a way to make both of these into a base 3.

9 is easy, thats just:

[tex]9=3\times3=3^2[/tex]

1/27 is a little more difficult. Start with 27:

[tex]27=9\times3=3\times3\times3=3^3[/tex]

and because its a 1/27, that exponent has to be negative.

[tex]3^3=27\\3^-^3=\frac{1}{27}[/tex]

Now we can get both of them to base 3, so do that in the given equation:

[tex]3^{(-3)\times(4-x)}=3^{(2)\times(2x-1)}[/tex]

Same as last time, the bases can be canceled out as the exponents have to be equal for this equation to be true.

[tex]3^{(-3)\times(4-x)}=3^{(2)\times(2x-1)}\\(-3)\times(4-x)=(2)\times(2x-1)[/tex]

Finally, solve for x:

[tex]-3(4-x)=2(2x-1)\\-12+3x=4x-2\\-10+3x=4x\\x=-10[/tex]
