Completing the square.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.)x^2+6x=7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2.) x^2+8x=9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3.) 9x^2+19x=-8 (solve by completing the square an coefficient of x^2 is 1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'm looking for the processes of these. The book examples don't help.
\n" ); document.write( "
\"x%5E2+%2B+6x+=+7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+6x+%2B+%28%281%2F2%29b%29%5E2+=+7+%2B+%28%281%2F2%29+%2A+b%29%5E2\" ------ Adding \"1%2F2\" the value of b, and then squaring the result
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+6x+%2B+%28%281%2F2%296%29%5E2+=+7+%2B+%28%281%2F2%29+%2A+6%29%5E2\" ------ Adding \"1%2F2\" ------ Substituting + 6 for b
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+6x+%2B+3%5E2+=+7+%2B+3%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x+%2B+3%29%5E2+=+7+%2B+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x+%2B+3%29%5E2+=+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28%28x+%2B+3%29%5E2%29+=+%22+%22%2B-+sqrt%2816%29\" ------- Taking square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+3+=+%22+%22%2B-+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%22+%22%2B-+4+-+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C+7%2C+x%2C+%22=%22%2C+1%2C+or%2C+x%2C+%22=%22%2C+-+7%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Follow the above steps and you should be able to do number 2
\n" ); document.write( "Number 3 can get quite MESSY. Did you really mean: \"9x%5E2+%2B+19x+=+-+8\", or something else? If it's correct, factor
\n" ); document.write( "out 9 on both sides to get a coefficient of 1 on \"x%5E2\", and once again, follow the steps in number 1 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
