hartnn (hartnn):

question: t^2-7t-7=0 u took t^2-3t-7=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its a diferent problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the one with no work its a separate problem.another example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is in yellow was the part that i got wrong

hartnn (hartnn):

t-3 ? it should be (t-3/2 )^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3t? it should be (-3/2)^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gives me 2.25

hartnn (hartnn):

i will write steps, see whether u understand... t^2 - 3t + 9/4 = 7+9/4 (t-3/2)^2 = (28+9)/4 (t-3/2)^2 = (37)/4 t-3/2 = sqrt{37/4} can u proceed...?

hartnn (hartnn):

+ or -sqrt{37/4}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add 3/2 to both sides?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, but did u understand what i did ?

hartnn (hartnn):

u got 197 incorrect, it should be 37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup i wrote the steps they are clear u square in the forth step and get t-2/2 on left and +/-sqrof 37/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! that was the asnwer :) how do i get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait 7/1 +9/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

hartnn (hartnn):

because 7+9/4 = 37/4 and not 197/4 yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 28?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
