Solve x2 14x = −24 by completing the square. what is the solution set of the equation?

2 answers:

5 0

First, rearrange the equation so that only zero will be on the right side:

x^2 + 14x +24 = 0

Let the coefficients be:

a = 1
b = 14
c = 24

To complete the square, add (b/2)^2 to both sides of the equation:

(b/2)^2 = 49

x^2 + 14x + 49 + 24 = 49
x^2 + 14x + 49 = 25
(x+7)^2 = 25

Therefore, the solution set of the equation is {-12, -2}

Digit numbers.

Let the numbers 00 to 89 represent that the train is on time.

Let the numbers between 90 and 99 represent that the train is late.

Randomly select 6 numbers, with repetition allowed.

Count the number of times the train is late.

Repeat this simulation multiple times.

You will most likely obtain a result of between 0 and 2 times that the train is late.
