Rewrite the equation by completing the square.
x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0

the answer would be x=3,1

After completing the square, we can say:

(x - 2)² = 1

If we solve for x, this tells us that x has a value of both 1 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x² - 4x + 3 = 0

We can complete the square by adding 1 to both sides:

x² - 4x + 4 = 1

(x - 2)² = 1

We can then solve for x by saying:

(x - 2)² = 1

x - 2 = √1

x = 2 ± 1

x = 1, 3

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
