Question

Solving x2+2x+10=0 by completing the square method produces an equation of the form (x+h)2=k. Find h and k. h= k=

Answer 1

H equals 1 and k= - 9

Answer 2

Answer:

h = 1 , k = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

given

x² + 2x + 10 = 0  ( subtract 10 from both sides )

x² + 2x = - 10

using the method of completing the square on the left side

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(1)x + 1 = - 10 + 1

(x + 1)² = - 9 ← in the form (x + h)² = k

with h = 1 and k = - 9
