This can be solved by factoring.
First, set the expression equal to zero.
Then, find two the factors of
whose sum is
.
Split
into these two factors.
Next, factor by grouping.
By the Zero Product Property, set each factor equal to zero.
These are the solutions. The Complex Conjugate Root Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra both state that, in essence, real and imaginary solutions come in pairs of two and every polynomial of degree
has exactly
complex roots, but real roots are also complex roots. That sounds confusing, but this just means that you're done.
Your answers are -2 and 1/3. There are two real roots.
Answer:
5 shifts
Step-by-step explanation:
7 1/2= 7.5
1 1/2= 1.5
7.5/1.5= 5
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
When completing the square, we essentially want to create a perfect square trinomial by adding a constant.
If we have the following expression:
And we want to complete the square, we will need to divide the b-coefficient by half and then square it.
Thus, the added term should be:
In the given equation, we have:
The b term here is 8. Therefore:
The value we would add would be 16.
The answer is C.
Further notes:
To complete the square, add 16 like mentioned earlier. However, we also need to subtract 16 to balance things out:
The expression inside the parentheses is now a perfect square trinomial. Factor it:
And we are done!
