: To Whom It May Concern:
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Didn't have the textbook info yesterday when I submitted these questions.
The questions are from a quiz that I took for my online course.

Find the value of k that completes the square for x2 + 10x + k?

Use completing the square or the quadratic formula to find the solutions to the equation x2 � 4x + 2 = 0

Find the solutions to the equation: x2 + 2x + 5 = 0?

Find the solutions to the equation: x + 7/x = 8?

Solve the equation: x � 3 � sqrt x � 1 = 0?

Solve the equation: x + 2 � 2 sqrt x + 2 = 0?

Solve the inequality 2 | x � 10 | < 3 and express the solution as an interval?
Please get back to me ASAP since I'm studying for my final exam.

1) x^2 + 10x +25 , let k=25 then (x+5)^2
2) x^2 � 4x + 4-4+2 = 0 (add and subtract 4)then (x-2)^2-2=0 then (x-2)^2=2
(x-2)=+sqrt(2) or (x-2)=-sqrt(2)
x1=2+sqrt(2) or x2=2-sqrt(2)
3)x2 + 2x + 5 = 0? then x^2+2x+1+4= then (x+1)^2=-4 so no solutuin.
or check discriminant D= 2^2-4.5.1=-16
4)x+7/x=8 then x^2-8x+7=0 then (x-7)(x-1)=0 then x1=7 or x2=1
5)Solve the equation: x � 3 � sqrt x � 1 = 0?
x-3=sqrt(x-1) take square of both sides then x^2-6x+9=x-1 then x^2-7x+10=0 then factorize (x-2)(x-5)=0 x1=5 or x2=2 check both solutions then only 5 satisfies the original equation.
6)x + 2 � 2 sqrt x + 2 = 0? x+2=2 sqrt x + 2 then take square of both sides, x^2+4x+4=4(x+2) then x^2+4x+4=4x+8 then x^2=4 the x1=2 or x2=-2 check both solutions. If x1=2 then 4-2.2=0 satisfies x2=-2 also satisfies so solutions {2 ,-2}
7)2 <| x � 10 | < 3
then there are two conditions I) -3 the second condition 2< x-10 then x> 12 or 2 <-x+10 then
