Question

Solve x^2=6x-11

Answer 1

try to put all the terms on one side, remember that when moving a term to the other side, we change its sign.

Answer 2

Example: x^2 = 5x + 6.
We will have: x^2 - 5x -6 = 0.

Answer 3

Then, use the quadratic formula.

Answer 4

\[x = \frac{ - b +/-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{ 2a }\]

Answer 5

\[3+2\sqrt{5}\]\[3+i\sqrt{2}\]\[3-2\sqrt{5}\]\[3-i \sqrt{2}\] these are the options
there is more than one correct anwser.

Answer 6

well as violy said above use the quadratic formula once you get all terms to one side ..Tell us what you get ?

Answer 7

\[3+/-\sqrt{-3^2-22}\]
thats what i got

Answer 8

how did you get that ?

Answer 9

Quadratic equation

Answer 10

try to identify a, b and c first when you arrived in the form: ax^2+bx + c =0.

Answer 11

yep ..can you show how you substituted the terms ?

Answer 12

careful on plugging-in the values on the quadratic formula..

Answer 13

a=1 b=-6 and c=11

Answer 14

thats right !!

Answer 15

now substitute in quadratic equation

Answer 16

-b=?
b^2=?
4ac= ?

Answer 17

2a= ?

Answer 18

i did and then i got stuck on simpflying
6
-6^2
4(1)(11)=44
2(1)=2

Answer 19

ya that is right !

Answer 20

now just do operations like additions,subtraction and division

Answer 21

tell me how the numerator will be ?

Answer 22

i dont know

Answer 23

why not ?just put it there!!
