Question

Solve the quadratic function by completing the square. What are the missing pieces in the steps?

-32 = 2(x2 + 10x)
-32 + = 26x2 + 10x +25)
18 = 2(x + 5)2
9 = (x + 5)2
=X+5
x = -2 or x =

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given quadratic equation is,

-32 = 2(x² + 10x)

-32 + 50 = 2(x² + 10x + 25)

18 = 2(x + 5)²

9 = (x + 5)²

± 3 = (x + 5)

x = -2 or x = -8
