Solve x2 + 6x = 9 for x by completing the square.

a. x = −6
b. x = 0
c. x equals plus or minus square root of 18 minus 3
d. x = x equals plus or minus square root of 18 plus 3

Respuesta :

Answer: c. x equals plus or minus square root of 18 minus 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x^2+6x+(6/2)^2=9+(6/2)^2

2. (x+6/2)^2=18

3. (x+3)^2=18

Answer: x= plus or minus root 18 minus 3

Simplified would be x plus or minus 3 root 2 minus 3

Solving we get that option (c) that is x= plus or minus root 18 minus 3 is correct.

Completing the Square is a method used to solve a quadratic equation by changing the form of the equation so that the left side is a perfect square.

The steps of the method are as follows :

]Isolate the number or variable c to the right side of the equation. Divide all terms by a (the coefficient of x2, unless x2 has no coefficient). Divide coefficient b by two and then square it. Add this value to both sides of the equation.

How to Solve x2 + 6x = 9 for x by completing the square?

1). x^2+6x+(6/2)^2 =9+(6/2)^2

2).(x+6/2)^2=18

3). (x+3)^2=18.
