Question

Some the quadratic equation by completing the square.x^2+4x-11=0First choose the appropriate form and fill in the blanks with the correct numbers. Then solve the equation. If there’s more than one solution separate them with commas.

Answer 1

$x^2+4x-11=0$

By completing the square, we have:

$\begin{gathered} x^2+4x=11 \\ x^2+4x+2^2=11+2^2 \\ (x+2)^2=11+4 \\ (x+2)^2=15 \end{gathered}$

Take the square root of both sides

$\begin{gathered} (x+2)=\pm\sqrt[]{15} \\ x=+\sqrt[]{15}-2\text{ OR x= -}\sqrt[]{15}-2 \\ x=3.8729-2\text{ OR -3.8729-2} \\ x=1.873\text{ OR -5.873} \end{gathered}$
