Answer:
1. (x+9)^2 = 89
2. (Choice D) D x = − 9 ± 89 x=−9± 89 x, equals, minus, 9, plus minus, square root of, 89, end square root
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 6 = 2 - 18x
1) rewrite the equation by completing the square
x^2 - 6 = 2 - 18x
x^2 + 18x = 2+6
x^2 + 18x = 8
Find the half of the coefficient of x and square it
18x
Half=9
Square half=(9)^2
=81
Add 81 to both sides
x^2 + 18x = 8
x^2 + 18x + 81 = 8 + 81
x^2 + 18x + 81 = 89
(x+9)^2 = 89
Check:
(x+9)(x+9)=89
x^2 + 9x + 9x + 81=89
x^2 + 18x +81 =89
2) (x+9)^2 = 89
√(x+9)^2 = √89
x+9=√89
x=√89 - 9
It can be rewritten as
x= -9 ± √89
(Choice D) D x = − 9 ± 89 x=−9± 89 x, equals, minus, 9, plus minus, square root of, 89, end square root
