x^2+6x,+7 =0
solve frm quadratic formula
Answers
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -6x its coefficient is -6 .
The last term, "the constant", is -7
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -7 = -7
Step-2 : Find two factors of -7 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -6 .
-7 + 1 = -6 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -7 and 1
x2 - 7x + 1x - 7
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-7)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x-7)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+1) • (x-7)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(x + 1) • (x - 7) = 0
Answer:
x^2+6x-7=0
=>x^2+2*3x+3^2-9-7=0
=>(x+3)^2-16=0
=>(x+3)^2-(4)^2=0
=>(x+3+4)(x+3-4)=0
=>(x+7)(x-1)=0
=>x=1,-7
Formula used
(x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2 and x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y).
Here is how you can solve this question:
First, bring the constant term -7 to the other side.
Then add 1/2(coefficient of x)^2 to both the sides.
