=3a^2 + 3b^2
Complete square
a(x+b)^2 + c, abc are constants
a(x+b)^2 = -c
(x+b)^2 = -c/a
X+b = sqrt -c/a
X = sqrt -c/a -b
9. 𝑥2 − 4𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0
(x-2)^2 -4 +c = 0
(x-2)^2 =( 4-c)
x-2 = +/-sqrt (4-c)
x= 2+/-sqrt (4-c)
cosine rule:
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2bccosA
equilateral triangle=three sides are the same
i.e. a=b=c
a^2 = a^2 + a^2 -2aacosA
a^2 -2a^2 = -2(a^2)cosA
-a^2 = -2(a^2)cosA
cosA = -a^2 / -2(a^2)
cosA = ½
A=60
X^2 + x <= 0
x(x+1) <= 0 x(x+1) =0
x=0 or x=-1
-1<=x<=0
x^2 + 14x – 4 =0
= (x+7)^2 – 49 -4
(x+7)^2 – 53 = 0
x+7 = +/-sqrt53
x = -7+/-sqrt53
x^2 + 6x +20 = 0
discriminant: 6^2 – 4(1)(20) = 36-80 = -14 <0
therefore, no real solutions
(x+3)^2 – 9 + 20 = 0
(x+3)^2 = -11
x+3 = sqrt (-11)
you can’t square root a negative number
therefore, no real solutions.
completing square
3x^6 - 23x^3 -8 =0
let z=x^3
3z^2 – 23z – 8
(z-8)(z+1) = 0
z=8 or z=-1 (not complete)
the question is asking about x instead of z
x^3 = 8 or x^3 =-1
x=2 or x=-1
