x² + 4x+16=
Answers
Answer:
Simplifying
x2 + -4x + 16 = 0
Reorder the terms:
16 + -4x + x2 = 0
Solving
16 + -4x + x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Begin completing the square.
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -4x + -16 + x2 = 0 + -16
Reorder the terms:
16 + -16 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -16
Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -16
-4x + x2 = 0 + -16
Combine like terms: 0 + -16 = -16
-4x + x2 = -16
The x term is -4x. Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.
Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4x + 4 + x2 = -16 + 4
Reorder the terms:
4 + -4x + x2 = -16 + 4
Combine like terms: -16 + 4 = -12
4 + -4x + x2 = -12
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2)(x + -2) = -12
Can't calculate square root of the right side.
The solution to this equation could not be determined.
