x-3=+-root2
OpenStudy (shamim):
x=3+root 2
OpenStudy (shamim):
x=3-root2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@shamim so what is the answer for them?
OpenStudy (shamim):
Root 2=?

yes but what do i put where in the boxes?
OpenStudy (shamim):
x=3+ root 2=?
OpenStudy (shamim):
This 1 answer
OpenStudy (shamim):
Another answer is
x=3-root2=?

still need help?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
YES
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
We need to get x terms on the left side by, first, subtracting 7

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
We now have \[x^2 - 6x = -7\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
combine the x's?
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
Well, to complete the square, we need to divide the middle term (which is -6) by 2 and then square that answer
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
We now have \[x^2 - 6x + 9 = -7 + 9\]
See how i added the square of have of -6 to both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

Now we factor...do you know what x^2 - 6x + 9 simplifies to?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
umm 6x3+9?
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
Srry about that...it simplifies to (x-3)^2 = -7 + 9
\[(x - 3)^2 = 2\]

Yes it is :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay (: what about the second one?
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
For the second one, we can use the quadratic formula
\[\frac{ -b +\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\]
where "1" is a, "-6" is b and "7" is c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so plug in the nunbers right?
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
sorry thats \[\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\]
and yes plug in the numbers

\[x = \frac{ -(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4(1)(7)} }{ 2(1) }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
solve?
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
Yes it's just basically simplifying
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
It simplifies to \[x = \frac{ 6\pm \sqrt{8} }{ 2 }\]
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
Which further simplifies to\[x = 3\pm \sqrt{2}\]

And that is your second answer :)
OpenStudy (dmndlife24):
@MeganLeex3 do you understand?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes thank you!
