How to complete the square of: 3x^2-6x-12=0

exact form:

x=±√5+1

decimal form:

x = 3.23606797..., -1.23606797...

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula (b/2)^2 in order to create a new term. Solve for x by using this term to complete the square. :))

x = √5 + 1, x = -√5 + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We want the coefficient of x^2 to be 1, so let's divide either side by 3;

3x^2 - 6x - 12 = 0 => Divide either side by 3

3x^2/3 - 6x/3 - 12/3 = 0/3 => Simplify

x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0

Let's try to form a perfect square;

(x^2 - 2x + ? ) - 4 = 0

          |

         1/2(- 2) = (- 1)^2 = 1

(x^2 - 2x + 1) + 4 - 1 = 0

(x - 1)^2 - 5 = 0

(x - 1)^2 = 5

For x - 1 = √5 : x = √5 + 1

For x - 1 = - √5 : x = -√5 + 1

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?

15%

step-by-step explanation:

use the table and count the number of guesses that has two correct answers.

the following are two correct answers

10010, 01100, 11000

a total of 3 numbers having 2 correct guesses out of 20 questions.

probability of getting 2 correct guesses = the number of questions getting 2 correct answers / total number of questions.

= 3/20

to convert it into percent multiply by 100, we get

= 3/20 * 100

= 15%

the answer is 15%

you.
