Can someone please help???? <3333

OpenStudy (shamim):

x^2-6x+7=0

OpenStudy (shamim):

x^2-6x+9-2=0

OpenStudy (shamim):

x^2-2*x*3+3^2-2=0

OpenStudy (shamim):

(x-3)^2=2

OpenStudy (shamim):

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=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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=?

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

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

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

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 \[(x - 3)^2 = 2\]

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

@MeganLeex3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the first answer right? @dmndlife24

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

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

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

\[x = \frac{ -(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4(1)(7)} }{ 2(1) }\]

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\[x = 3\pm \sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

And that is your second answer :)

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

@MeganLeex3 do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank you!
