9x2+9x+2 use completion of square method
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving 9x2-9x+2 = 0 by Completing The Square .
Divide both sides of the equation by 9 to have 1 as the coefficient of the first term :
x2-x+(2/9) = 0
Subtract 2/9 from both side of the equation :
x2-x = -2/9
Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of x , which is 1 , divide by two, giving 1/2 , and finally square it giving 1/4
Add 1/4 to both sides of the equation :
On the right hand side we have :
-2/9 + 1/4 The common denominator of the two fractions is 36 Adding (-8/36)+(9/36) gives 1/36
So adding to both sides we finally get :
x2-x+(1/4) = 1/36
Adding 1/4 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :
x2-x+(1/4) =
(x-(1/2)) • (x-(1/2)) =
(x-(1/2))2
Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since
x2-x+(1/4) = 1/36 and
x2-x+(1/4) = (x-(1/2))2
then, according to the law of transitivity,
(x-(1/2))2 = 1/36
We'll refer to this Equation as Eq. #4.2.1
The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.
