Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. x^2 +3x -5 = 0. 1.19, –4.19 –8.75, 5.75 1.66, 2.69 1.05, –4.05
Question
Answer:
x^2 + 3x - 5 = 0x^2 + 3x = 5
x^2 + 3x + 2.25 = 5 + 2.25
(x + 1.5)^2 = 7.25
x + 1.5 = (+-) sqrt 7.25
x = -1.5 (+-) 2.69
x = -1.5 + 2.69 = 1.19 <=== ur answer
x = -1.5 - 2.69 = -4.19 <=== ur answer
