Solve the equation x^2 + 4x - 7
By completing the square
give answer correct to two decimal places.
( p. s the answer is not -5.32 or 1.32 )

x = 1.32, -5.32

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x - 7

Set equal to zero

x^2 + 4x - 7 =0

Add 7 to each side

x^2 + 4x =7

Take the coefficient of x and divide by 2

4/2

Square it

2^2 =4

Add to each side

x^2+4x+4 = 7+4

(x+2)^2 = 11

Take the square root of each side

x+2 = ±sqrt(11)

Subtract 2 from each side

x = -2 ±sqrt(11)

x=1.31662

x=-5.31662

To 2 decimal places

x = 1.32, -5.32

a box 3 3/4 feet long or 4+ feet.

step-by-step explanation:

d

step-by-step explanation:

given

y + 3 = - 4(x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 3 = - 4x + 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y = - 4x + 5 → d
