Question

Solve by completing the square:

m^2-49/2m=1/2

Answer 1

\[m^{2}-49/2m=1/2\]

Answer 2

m=-1.48

Answer 3

Hi there.

do you want the answer in radicals?

Answer 4

Hey saifoo, yes please.

Answer 5

\[\Large \frac{2}{-49-\sqrt{2409}},\frac{1}{4}(49+\sqrt{2409})\]

Answer 6

m^2 - ((49/2)/2)^2m = 1/2

so [(49/2)2] ^2= 2401/16 add it to both sides

m^2 - 49/2m + 2401/16 = 1/2 + 2401/16

(m - 49/4)^2 = 2409/16

m - 49/4 = sqrt(2409)/4

m = [sqrt(2409)/4] +49/4 ---->answer

Answer 7

hmm new I was off. I got \[\sqrt{2409}/4+7/4 for the first and tottally lost on the second!\]
