Solve (x-3)^2 =5 completing the square

x = 3 ± √5

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression (x - 3)² = 5 doesn't need completing the square to solve (this is the step after you finish completing the square):

Step 1: Square root both sides

x - 3 = ±√5

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides

x = 3 ± √5 = 0.76392, 5.23607

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to solve this equation for x

Either you develop (x-3)^2 and then solve the quadratic equation

Or you can solve it this way :

(X-3)^2= 5

x-3 = + or - root square 5

So x = 3+ or - root square 5

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
