4x^2+6x+3=0 solve by completing the square method
Answers
Answer:
x = -3/4 + √ 21/16
or
x = -3/4 - √ 21/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving 4x2+6x-3 = 0 by Completing The Square .
Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to have 1 as the coefficient of the first term :
x2+(3/2)x-(3/4) = 0
Add 3/4 to both side of the equation :
x2+(3/2)x = 3/4
Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of x , which is 3/2 , divide by two, giving 3/4 , and finally square it giving 9/16
Add 9/16 to both sides of the equation :
On the right hand side we have :
3/4 + 9/16
The common denominator of the two fractions is 16 Adding (12/16)+(9/16) gives 21/16
So adding to both sides we finally get :
x2+(3/2)x+(9/16) = 21/16
Adding 9/16 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :
x2+(3/2)x+(9/16) =
(x+(3/4)) • (x+(3/4)) =
(x+(3/4))2
Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since
x2+(3/2)x+(9/16) = 21/16 and
x2+(3/2)x+(9/16) = (x+(3/4))2
then, according to the law of transitivity,
(x+(3/4))2 = 21/16
We'll refer to this Equation as Eq. #3.2.1
The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.
Note that the square root of
(x+(3/4))2 is
(x+(3/4))2/2 =
(x+(3/4))1 =
x+(3/4)
Now, applying the Square Root Principle to Eq. #3.2.1 we get:
x+(3/4) = √ 21/16
Subtract 3/4 from both sides to obtain:
x = -3/4 + √ 21/16
Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative
x2 + (3/2)x - (3/4) = 0
has two solutions:
x = -3/4 + √ 21/16
or
x = -3/4 - √ 21/16
Note that √ 21/16 can be written as
√ 21 / √ 16 which is √ 21 / 4
